I was at a kids charity event yesterday. As part of it there was a colour run - throwing around coloured chalk, going through obstacles etc (chalk is non toxic and easily washes off clothes and other objects). One of my children got wet so we popped back to the car to change. Through a mix of my younger son flapping his clothes to get chalk off and my older one finding some spare chalk and throwing it at me, I noticed that some chalk was over the bonnet of the car next to us. It had blown there in the wind, so it was a very small amount. We hadn't been standing next to the car. But the car was black and very shiny so it was noticeable. I know this shouldn't have happened, and I left a note with my number apologising and offering to pay for cleaning.
I got a message last night saying that the car had been damaged in other ways. Totally unrelated to anything a tiny bit of chalk had done - damage to bumper and a door. I explained that we hadn't been near the car, or hit it, but reiterated my offer to pay for cleaning. They messaged again this morning wanting my registration number.
I am worried this might be some sort of scam. Should I send the number? We were parked directly next to the car, but definitely didn't hit it (I was even more careful than usual because the car looked expensive!).
