Finding owner of a car ( owner caught )
Some wanker hit my BMW in the supermarket car park today 
Now its only a minor scratch on the bumper but he was seen by a bloke who tried to stop him before he set of like a nutter to get out of this fellas way
I have the reg number of the car but just wondered if anyone had any ideas how i could trace the owner
Cheers Paul

i dont get that theres nothing they can do because its on private property. so if you went around to his house and smashed his face with a bat they wouldnt do anything because it was on private property?
its to late now as youve contacted the police but an old way i use is to go into a police station and tell them a bollocks story about me about to buy a car. i tell them i think the seller is dodgy , te;ll them the car details and a made up name and address and ask if it matches their records. 9 times out of ten they will say "no weve got it down as being owned by mr such and such from xxx address" before turning their screen to face you.....

private land or not,if the public have acces you must have insurance and as far as i can remember if you tell the police you need his details for the insurance claim they have to give it to you but it may well have changed now

Afaik when our lass's car got wrote off in asda the bloke admitted it was his fault so we could claim on his insurance, but only did that after i booted off on the cunt. If he'd of shrugged his shoulders so to speak we'd of been fucked. Thats all i can remember from what the ins said.

so if you have a bump in tesco car park you can tell them to get fucked , drive away and all youll hear is possibly the police asking nicely if youd play ball?

happened to my missus' zafira a few weeks ago, the fucker hit the passenger door leaving a nice dent in it and then fucking off leaving me to deal with the damage. I think it will push out but will still leave a dent on the swedge line

Update ,
the police have just rung me and said it was an old dear who didnt have a clue she hit my car and she is willing to pay
So im chuffed ,,BUT,, You have to say that if the bloke never took her number she would have just fooked of even tho he was banging on her read side window to make her stop
she claims she was scared when he was banging so kept going , lol,

good result, tbh and no excuse but some old duffers are oblivious, I had a woman roll back at a junction into me, she was shaking and all panicked.
I told her to get back in her car and not worry about it and try an be a little more aware when on the road. She looked relieved, and tootled off.
Then I shopped her to the police for hit and run...
Nah, not really, would have been funny though.

if thats the case how come you can still get done for driving in tesco car park if you have no insurance? and careless driving if doing doughnuts etc ? unless its different up here? if the car park isnt gated and locked it counts as a public area as the public have continuous access.

1 year ban and fines for both of them but they thought they'd get away with it as it's supposedly Private Property - they were told it wasn't and got humped.

Hitting another car in a car park is classed as a sivil matter
Driving with no insurance or driving like a twat isnt , simple realy if you think about it

Old people are madness. Could have been squashing a kid and wouldn't have a clue. Then again, a lot are not as soft as they make out, and she may have known full well and played on her age.

Too late now but details of the registered owner of a vehicle are freely available from the DVLA for a small fee and also on the provision that there is just cause for someone requesting them.
The scenario described by the OP is more than just cause.

Also you have local authority bylaws to deal with. some areas have bylaws adopting such public access areas for the purposes of enforcing RTA. Its not everywhere though. many public accessable places dont come under RTA such a military bases, some ports etc.
If you have the landowners permission and its not public access then police can do fuck all. gated and locked is not necessary down here. As long as the signage is clear that its not public accessable then any charges wouldnt stand up in law. so eg contract car parks where you need a prior contract would be fine but a private pay and display would not. also if you owned an industrial unit with off road yard then no one can stop you gate or not.
Obviously proving it in court is the hard bit.

In the event of a incident it is up to them to gather the information from both parties and decide who is at fault.
Check your paper work as for some its in there, think it was either Tesco's or Greenlight that told me that.

Old cunts
Most of them are fully aware that they are hitting a car or scraping past it but dont give a fuck in the slightest and just act as if its normal to do it.
Old dear at my mum and dads area was really really bad for it and hit all our cars at some point and would just drive off buring the clutch out as normal without a care in the world, she would reverse back till she hit your car and couldnt go any further as if it was teh kerb edge then just drive off
Always drove into parking bay head first rather than reverse because she would have knocked the fuckin houses down if she tried reversing in
Fuckin nissan micra aswell
