They decided to leave without leaving any contact details. Now we have this on CTV camera, so this is your chance to come forward and do the right thing. You won't get away with it either way, so it's better. Being honest. Your details are with the police and insurance company, so it is only a matter of time before you need to pay for the damage. It may be cheaper to just get our car fixed than pay our excess or yours if you have insurance.
Last chance to come forward before the blue uniform comes knocking.
