A year or so ago, someone wrote my car off outside my house but not satisfied with that, they then drove into the front of my house, shifting the bay wall. Luckily though, no one was seriously injured.

Re: Thank goodness for having a dashcam
this is my kit, the dascam itself with the hard wired kit (box shown only), the piggyback connectors. Also you will need a micro SD card preferably 32 GB one
Just a question of finding the live side of a fuse when the ignition is turned on. I used the electric front seat fuse for this.
then ran the cable under the dashboard, where the fuse box is, then under the rubber door frame seal to the underneath of the head lining to the front window screen.
I programmed mine for 5 minute intervals continuous - impact aware- car speed- not nuimber plate etc
I also downloaded the latest next base software which also not only shows the road but also you on a map and direction of travel as you drive along- braking turning and loads more
Best bit of kit one can get for a car
Halfords Nextbase 322 GW fitted £134 but that is just the lighter plug in Best if possible to go hard wired then you don't have to worry about plugging in every time

Re: Thank goodness for having a dashcam
The guy is ok, he actually came around here to say sorry and totally admitted he didn't look.However I have to point out that what he said here may well not have been what he told his insurance company, but in this case think he did .
The damage is going to be accessed on Thursday, looks as if the front bumper got knocked of the brackets and a slight mark by the number plate
Mags
he did say he had a heart attack 2 years ago and also stents in the eyes
