Returned from a carboot sale today to find a letter under my windscreen wiper thanking me for damaging someone's car and saying they had taken my reg and would report it to the police.
Am really confused as I was parked legally and with room in front and behind me, had no damage whatsoever to my car and certainly had not scraped or bumped anyone elses car. Have reported it to the police but they said wait for a letter through the post, am really worried now about what's going to happen.

This will be a scam, no doubt in a few days you will get a letter through your door offering to settle with you for a cash sum. Sadly its to easy to get personal details from a car registration
If this happens go to your local police station and report it
If you have a legal phoneline on your motor insurance, get them a ring for advice.
If its reported to the police, the cops will do nothing as its a insurance matter.
Don't think anything will come. But best to protect yourself just in case.
Wait for the letter to come, get the persons address then go round there and kill all their pets.
'Including' the goldfish!!!
Everyone always leaves the goldfish!!
Leave their pets alone
Kill their children
If they honestly thought they could prove you had damaged their car they would call the police immediately and not take a note of your reg to "do it later" wouldn't they?
And how would they know it was you unless they saw you - in which case they'd confront you?
Pile of b*llox if you ask me.
So what Unlikely what KK what Meldy said....
Don't take any chances. Kill everything in a three mile radius!
Seriously as others have said, don't worry.
But also if you do receive a letter don't reply to it, even to explain that it wasn't your fault as its probably a scam and this will only encourage them.
They evade me too
They can not make any claims later for the simple reason, it is against the law to flee the scene of an accident.
If they were involved in an accident which resulted in damage to property or individuals they have broken the law by not exchanging details with the third party at the scene or reporting it to authoritys.
They are claiming to have seen the OP nudge another car - I don't think they are claiming it was their car that was damaged or that they were involved in the incident.
Plus they are saying they are going to report it to the authorities - the police.
Made me laugh, thank you
Sounds like a scam
