Probably a deluded old man nearly ready for full time residential care.0

"Facism arrives as your friend. It will restore your honour, make you feel proud, protect your house, give you a job, clean up the neighbourhood, remind you of how great you once were, clear out the venal and the corrupt, remove anything you feel is unlike you... [it] doesn't walk in saying, "our programme means militias, mass imprisonments, transportations, war and persecution."0

Thing is, I like to think I'm a reasonable guy. Few years ago at my old house my handbrake cable snapped, car rolled out of the drive and damaged my neighbour's fence. As soon as my neighbour arrived home from work I went over to apologise and offer to pay for repairs.
If I had hit his car, I would have went over straight away to apologise and make it right.
Indeed, thats what decent neigbours do, look after each other and take responsibility when something goes wrong.
I agree with you, i think the old fellow has convinced himself you hit his car, it probably got clouted when he was out in it at some point, probably the supermarket where people seemingly 'park' by touch, but he's got this into his head now and its stuck.
I think you've done all you can for now.0 -

Tell him to get stuffed.
His witness isn't sure, he's got the wrong car and it was so important that he waited seven weeks before telling you.
It would be destroyed by a lawyer !Thanks to MSE I cleared £37k of debt in five years and I was lucky enough to meet Martin to thank him personally.0 -
I just don't believe him. Not after that length of time, no visit, no note, no clear line-of-sight, even getting the car confused with one that had been sold. Nope, I don't believe him at all. Problem is, he might believe it himself now, if he's repeating the story enough.
However, other than being a difficult neighbour, there's absolutely nothing he can now do.
State to him it did not happen, he obviously identified a car you didn't own at the time, and you simply do not believe his version of events. Then leave it.0 -
There's a foot-long dent in the door - yet it's suggested that it was caused by a towbar? Nope. Can't happen.0

Not strictly true. I can think of a number of ways it could happen - reversing at an angle being one of them. Having said that, I'd agree with the assessment of the previous post and that it isn't a reasonable claim.Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.0
