    I'm guilty of all of the above as much as the next person.

    The next person being me. Er, sorry 'bout that, David.

    I'm not aiming this at anyone in particular

    Then don't quote me out of context and attempt to draw entirely unconnected conclusions from it, thanks.

    PS. I have no insurance, but don't feel too bad. After 20 years without it, I'm way ahead.

    How did it pan out, btw?

    Basically, file-and-forget. C'est la vie.

    ... dealing with 20 reports of hit and run sideswipes with no details and a sour faced people thinking the worse of him.

    Once again, you write a lot harder than you read.

    he never said he couldn't do anything about it. He just said it was not a high priority thing, etc. You could call it a fob-off. Maybe he was just getting around to it.

    OK, whatever. I'm just surprised that you don't seem at all disturbed by the implications of your story. I'm nice to hairdressers and to shop staff too (as well as Police), but those people don't have a duty to act without fear or favour.

    pay $2.50 and get the owners name (from the plate number)

    If I'd been able to get the plate number there'd be no problem.

    Ben, I know you didn't bribe the cop, but he said he couldn't do anything about it, you did something for him, and suddenly he can do something about it. What else would you call it?*

    *Genuine question.

    It is also possible that you may end up being the one in trouble if you don't report it

    Good point. I'll do so today.

    Everyone wins.

    Except those unable or unwilling to bribe the Police, in similar circumstances. :(

    3140: silly you, if it goes unclaimed you get the money - as long as you left your details.

    Yeah, probably, but it wasn't mine, so I didn't want it.
