    I find myself reminded of the time someone who regularly visited one of my neighbours was out in the street arguing with his girlfriend/wife or whatever next to my car, to which my attention was brought as my car alarm was going off. Shortly after I discovered the car had been kicked (which is no doubt what triggered the alarm). The police said well if I hadn't seen him kick it then who's to say *he* kicked it sort of thing. Unless you're mentally !!!!!! then you know for certain that he did kick it as it was fine before, and it took some force to trigger the alarm (it never false alarmed). He got in his car screeching his tyres as he drove off like a to$$er leaving her, and I seriously doubt she kicked it.

    The evidence is clearly in the cars themselves and the truth could no doubt be determined by some CSI stylie investigation, but I doubt such an investigation is worth the likely cost.

    If I saw a purple car regularly parked next to my car, then one day my car had scrapes down it with purple paint flakes on it, and I saw the purple car again with matching damage - then I'd be certain that car had caused the damage. The chance another purple car just happened to come along and cause the damage is largely outside the balance of probability when that car regularly parks there and has corresponding damage.


    Yes, agreed, but based on that just try to prove it or even balance of probabilities, and this isn't murder.


    Personally accepting the Op's version, I too would effect devine retribution, with a vengence,:mad::mad:, ;)
    I like the thanks button, but ,please, an I agree button.

    Will the grammar and spelling police respect I do make grammatical errors, and have carp spelling, no need to remind me.;)

    Always expect the unexpected:eek:and then you won't be dissapointed

    But, the events aren't "given". We have only one side of events,

    The facts are that no one witnessed the event.

    :(

    Exactly, and the OP has just started this thread and walked away from it, speaks volumes.;)
