I WOULD like to thank the person that smashed into my car and drove off, causing considerable damage late afternoon Friday November 2, while reversing out of an allotted space at the front of Derwent Parade, South Ockendon.

It has been reported to the police who hope that you were caught on a nearby camera, the council and some local shopkeepers who have agreed to keep a look out for your fairly large white (must be damaged) vehicle.

You likely use this car park on a regular basis and I will be watching daily as well, if the police don’t find it first.

You clearly had something to hide or simply have no morals.

Hit and run can warrant points on your licence and a fine.

At your obvious speed you could have easily hit a child or pedestrian instead.

A VERY UNHAPPY RESIDENT
