Someone dinged my car!

Picked it up from the bodyshop yesterday where they took two weeks to do £2,300 worth of work to repair a no-fault crash I had about a month ago and when I got to my car this morning there is a dent in my boot and some paint scratched and flaking off the bumper. Obviously a car park ding, either at work or at home, no note.
Any other day I would write it off as the cost of having a car, but less than 24 hours after getting it back?
There's no question there really, sorry, just wanted to vent. I'm going to get big rubber bumpers to put all round my car.

Pulp Fiction had it right.
Vincent: Boy, I wish I could've caught him doing it. I'd have given anything to catch that a**hole doing it. It'd been worth him doing it just so I could've caught him doing it.
Lance: What a flipper!
Vincent: What's more chickenpoo than flipping with a man's automobile? I mean, don't flip with another man's vehicle.
Lance: You don't do it.
Vincent: It's just against the rules.0 -
I bought a car a couple of years ago, paid £13k (which was the most I'd ever spent on a car), within two weeks it had front and rear scrapes, (it had been parked up when I worked away) no-one bothered to leave notes
Just had it touched up this year £250 + VAT.
I'm also with pulp fiction on this one!Remember the time he ate my goldfish? And you lied and said I never had goldfish. Then why did I have the bowl Bart? Why did I have the bowl?0 -
Hah yes, pulp fiction would seem appropriate. I did consider knocking on each of my neighbour's doors to find the culprit and drag them out by the hair.
I've calmed down now.0
