Accidently scratch a wheel or trim then ask for the owners details?

Your being a honest citizen then, Trying to do the right thing.


Brick through the window release the handbrake and push it into someone elses space may also work.
But you will need to sweep up the glass from your space.

Just because its new or looks new doesnt mean there is not something dodgy about it.

Go to your local Aldi/Lidl and buy a £15 wheel clamp and a cheap PAYG SIM. Clamp the car and put the PAYG number on the windscreen notice to contact to release it. When they phone say you'll be around in the next 24hrs to release it. 23hrs and 30min later unclamp it. Should stop them doing it again.

If you pay £3 odd it will tell you the details of the person insured on the vehicle. Which 9 times out of 10 is the registered keeper.

This is poor advice:

1) You can only use askmid if you have been involved in an accident with the vehicle you are enquiring about

2) They won't tell you the details of the person insured to drive (they just give you the insurance company covering the vehicle on the day of the enquiry)

(Cost is £3.75, though the OP would be wasting this just to get an insurance company's details - they wouldn't disclose their policyholder's details!)

DVLA form V888, fee £2.50 and say reason you require information is to contact keeper who is illegally parking the vehicle on private land. Notr tried this personally but see no reason DVLA can refuse as it is a legitimate reason for needing information.

tow rope....
few friends......
move/bounce the car out of your space, and if causing obstruction in the road part, down to the management firm to remove the car, or hire a 'ticket' firm to put mini rollers on it and move it offsite......
I lived in an apartment complex before ticket companys came on site, first time someone parked in my space, really done my head in....
2nd time, i got the rope out, got a mates 4x4 and we dragged the car out of my space into the road (in the complex, not public road).
Not sure what happened later, but car wasnt there in the morning, and didnt go looking to see where it went either.....

Downside to this is that if they agree to pass on the details to you, then they also will pass on your details to the other side on request.

Not a good idea!!!

Brick is likely to bounce off and hit you in the face

Ever since a major accident locally, where a driver left his car in the middle of a main road at night, i've carried an emergency safety hammer in my vehicle at all times, so that I can a) break into such a car in future b) break out of my own car should the worst ever happen.
I recommend them to anyone, the slightest tap and any hardened safety glass window will smash into a million tiny pieces.

Have you used it ? I have and it provides you with both the insurance company and the details of the policy holder (including address). It's an automated system.
