I was manoeuvring into a bay in the car park of my local Screwfix on Monday morning when a white transit van that was parked in an adjacent bay suddenly began to reverse at speed. My van was positioned approximately 45 degrees in relation to the Transit when impact occurred. The door-hinge of the Transit's back door caught the side of my van and ripped a gaping hole above the off-side rear wheel arch.

My insurance company has estimated the cost of repairs to be somewhere in the region of £2500. I've only had my Caddy six weeks, and what took me almost two months of searching to find, took wetpants only 7 seconds to trash. When wetpants isn't installing hot water pipes directly on top of cables or installing a boiler directly in front of a consumer unit, he's ripping holes in the side of your van. I despair.
