Would like to believe it's a genuine mistake (and it seems it was!)

[Airhead]

Came back to my car parked in the Hi-park today to find this:

Bugger, I thought and then noticed this under the wiper:

My faith restored in humanity, I decided to phone him later to sort something out.
"The number you are calling has not been recognised." 10 digit number!
Bugger, I thought again!

 

[Alexmck]

Sounds like a very fake name

 

[gcon45]

Try adding another zero

Try replacing the first 0 with +353 looks like it could be a southern number, 10 digits, and the name sounds Irish

Are southern numbers not like 087 for a mobile?

Think you're right, but worth a shot maybe

 

[Airhead]

Already tried adding extra digit to the end of the number (0-9) but no Joe (to be fair, not all of them answered).

Southern mobiles all start 08.

 

[Jonny_W]

No CCTV?

 

[ossy2004]

Seems like the guy who hit your car was being watched and he faked note you so wouldn’t be reported for hit & run

 

[61_Vert]

southern mobile are 086 AFAIK, unfortunately you need one of these...

or you could request CCTV at the car park and look for a white motor

 

[suckindiesel]

Usual story someone has seen them do it so they wrote a fake name/number so no one bothers to take their reg. Some world we live in!

 

[Airhead]

I'm sure there is CCTV - I'll ask later when I'm in (although I've never known the staff there to be particularly helpful so don't hold out much hope). Debatable whether it's worth pursuing for a parking scrape on a 7 year old Peugeot but annoying all the same. It looks much better after a clean up but would still need paint to leave it right.

 

[Mr.Mint]

Some horrible people about. I would think you'll just have to pay for it yourself, they knew exactly what they were doing with that number imo!

This is the reason I park in St Anne’s square on level 6... by myself

The only bad thing about it is that it's very tight, I find myself doing about 2 mph as I am terrified of hitting my wheel on the necessarily high kerbs

Sorry if this is sexist but, as a teacher, I call it as a female's handwriting.

It also looks like fake handwriting.

 

[Davytog]

Have to say my first reaction was that the writing was by a female

 

[gary87]

It also looks like fake handwriting.

How can it be fake hand writing if you can see the writing on the page?

It does definitely look like a womans hand writing though

 

[Airhead]

It could well be - it does have that look about it. I'll have a chat with the staff there later to see what their policy is on releasing CCTV but imagine there must be some sort of protocol for data protection etc. Will probably need something official - getting PSNI or solicitor involved. PSNI have more important things to be doing and a solicitor is just more expense. At the end of the day it's just a parking scrape.

 

[Dan.86]

Report it. Same happened to me when I was at tech and the police were able to call to the neighbouring school to get the reg from CCTV. It’s leaving the scene of an accident or something if I recall. Worst of it was I reported it to the tech and they said nobody had left a number...turned out they had!

And a woman's attempt at parking.

 

[KevM]

I know a Joe Finnegan. I know a lot of guys that would leave his details as a joke also unfortunately

That may look worst than what it looks it my with a bit of work buff out somewhat.

I don't find it as bad as some multi storeys.
People do tend to park far out in the spaces on the entries / exits of the ramps, which can leave it tight to get round in fairness.
That Hi-park would be worse mind you.
Some of the Dublin ones are worse again.
I don't know how you'd get anything bigger than a hatch around some of them.
