Christ, I'd be well pee'd aswell. Doubt insurance will want know as its a "act of god", stupid to say I know but its how they work.

I know the pain - a couple of years ago when we had the *really* windy weekend (November-ish), car door blew open in a car park, straight into the side of a brand new Golf estate . I did the honourable thing and left my details. It's still costing me, took 2 years no claims away! 'Twas definitely the right thing to do though - if it'd happened to the mini and no-one had left a note, I wouldn't be held responsible for my actions....

Should of left the note very loosely under the wipers... Not your fault if the wind blows it away!

20 yrs ago I saved up like crazy for what seemed like ages, so i could by myself a lovely porsche 924, a poor mans porsche maybe but it was something i wanted.

I rented a garage from an old girl down from me. Tha garage had those wooden doors, one either side, which had a bolt at the bottom to slot into the floor.

I'd had the car a 2 days when I was pulling out of the garage in the car, when the wind blew one of the doors so hard, that the bolt couldn't hold it.

Resulting in a badly creased and bent wing. BBbaaasssttaarrdddddd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Man I was so so gutted. **** happens!
