I'D like to thank the good samaritan who jotted down the registration number of a metallic blue Ford Fiesta which reversed and struck my car while it was parked in Smith Street, Atherton, last Wednesday.

If only there were more thoughtful people like him.

I returned after a mooch to find he had written a note informing me of the knock, which he saw rocked my car, and the sneaky driver trying to slope off.

He said he acted because he hoped someone would do the same for him in the same circumstances. So do I.

Fortunately there was no damage in this instance, but it could so easily have proved costly. I appreciate the trouble taken, and hope everyone who witnesses such behaviour will take note!
