They were surprised that details weren't left with damaged car? </p> <p>The new 'News' <strong>hit-and-run</strong> priority list...<br /> <ul>Expensive cars<br /> Skoda Fabias<br /> Taxis<br /> Pedestrians<br /> Bollards<br /> Wheelie Bins<br /> Cyclists?</ul> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2745#post-29184 Wed, 13 Apr 2011 14:20:25 +0000 DaveC 29184@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Eh, in the article it reads:</p> <p><em>A blue Skoda Fabia was parked on Beach Road, near the junction of Church Road in North Berwick, when it appears to have been struck some time between 10.30am and 3.45pm on Sunday, April 3</em></p> <p>Perhaps they've seen your message on here and edited the text? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2745#post-29183 Wed, 13 Apr 2011 14:18:23 +0000 Smudge 29183@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>£300?!?

Will there be roadblocks? </p>
