I've name changed for this as I feel very and with myself.
This afternoon I went to do some shopping. Pulled in to a car parking space, slightly misjudged and brushed just above the other cars back wheel arch. Another person who was also parking at the time saw what I did, but did not hang around, instead getting out of their car, going into their boot for some shopping bags and then going off to shop.
I got out to check whether there was any damage. There were some scrapes on my bumper but when I went to check the other car there were only a few black marks. Went into my car and located some baby wipes and proceeded to wipe one of the black marks on the other car. The mark wiped off with no damage underneath that I could see. I didn't wipe off any of the other marks. The marks were oily, so I was unsure whether they came from my car or not and neither my car or bumper is black. Went to my car and there were a couple of streaks of the black that was on the other car. Rubbed that off and no damage underneath that either, just on my bumper.
I had a look round my car to leave a note for the other car owner, but couldn't find anything. Didn't have a phone or anything else like that with me. Waited for approx 5 minutes before leaving. AIBU to wonder what do I do now? I didn't get the reg of the other car or make, as I had nothing with me to note it down. I did consider trying to find the owner but there are many shops for the car park, so it's not like it was one shop where I could go in and get them to tannoy.
I have had a bit of a Google and have seen that I should report this to the police, but there is conflicting advice depending whether there was any damage on the other car or not?
Any advice very much appreciated.
