Went to pick my step grandson up on sat 17 th Oct

Parking was restricted near her house so parked up the road a bit

Coming back to the car later to load up and leave I found the car had been hit

A neighbour came out and said is that your car ,we didn’t know who it belonged to but we heard the bang and saw a white van hit it and run down the side of it and drive off

So driver side rear lights smashed . Back quarter panel pinged off and rear panel dented in , also driver side mirror hanging off

Son in law took the mirror off as it was flapping and he secured the panel with a tie so I could drive home

Awful drive on the m20 with no driver mirror so was slow lane all the way

Reversing into a 1960 size garage too was an OMG don’t do more damage

The car is 11 years old but in very good condition with under 26000 miles on the clock but it’s not worth putting through the insurance as they would just make it a write off

SIL is getting me the new lights and mirror and it’s now booked in for repair but still going to cost me £1000 plus vat . Repair will take 4 days

I am so lost with no transport , have had to cancel several appointments cos I need the car to get to them


I am so I could smack the hit and run driver :-(
