    Thank you everyone for your replies and advice!!

    I guess the only evidence I have is a txt I sent to the friend I met in the car park stating 08:15 to be the meeting time (yes I was late lol) then my friend being a witness to me arriving after her. My friend had been shopping at morisons accross the road before she met me and kept receipts if that helps. I went past at least 1 road camera on my way to the car park and there are some cameras in the area but I'm guessing I can't just ask for a copy of footage. I myself don't have any reciepts tho.
    I didn't appeal on anything else just the times.
    Ralph-y who do I ask for digital copies? Would it be ukpc themselves?
    Would the police entertain this?
    How do I find out who owns the land?
    It was sunny with cloud that day and looking at the shadow it doesn't seem to have moved a lot in over 2 hours but they were taken at slightly different angles so not 100% sure but they look like same shadow. Also I was looking at the clouds and there is a cloud that looks very similar but 2 hours apart and it doesn't help with the Angels of their photo or the trees. Is there anyway I can upload photos here for you all to have a look? They are off my phone tho and won't be able to cover number plate
    Thank you

    copy photos to a desktop , use the black marker in Microsoft paint , and upload using photobucket , or tinipics


    however as mentioned , the parking prankster has blogged this , and shown how easy it is to alter photos

    yes .... but .......

    we are talking about ex clamper knuckle dusting .........

    I did hope that this would stay under the radar ......

    "As far as detecting an amateur job, there is generally a file creation date in meta data of the file system itself that could be examined and compared to the EXIF metadata, but if they are good at it, they will have altered both and there is some possibility of the file system values getting lost depending on how the file is transferred, so it may not even be reliable."
