Moral Dilema!!

[Paper Rustler]

Today I have been sat at home catching up on paperwork. Whilst on a telephone call, I was looking out of the window and noticed a coach coming through a rather narrow stretch of road. The coach then met a small cabstar type vehicle which then had to reverse, what a complete hash he made of that!! Consequently he reversed into my neighbours porch that covers his front door, the coach driver hooted twice and he still hit the porch. A lot of damage has been done. I managed to get the registration number of the vehicle that hit the porch and also the coach that witnessed the damage.

I was the only other witness.

My Dilema is:

 

The house next door is a holiday home and is let out/lived in for about 3 months of the year.

 

I do not get on with the owners who are "minted"

 

Do I give them all the details or keep my mouth shut.

I got involved as a RTA witness and regretted it. No end of no win no fee calls and texts even though I wasn't involved.

 

If you don't get on with the owner say nowt, or use the incident as a vehicle to mend bridges, if you are so inclined.

It all depends on how much they have pissed you off. I am as honest as the day is long and have high moral values - if you haven't these when stripped bare then what have you got!!

 

If the neighbours are unpleasant, dishonest, have taken pleasure in giving you grief then I may repay the pleasure. Some people just earn that decision:lol:

 

One of my favourite phrases is that "whatever a man sows, so shall he reap":thumbup: Your help may be repaid by them tenfold and may make them "better neighbours"...possibly???

Difficult one...................but...................

 

If it were your property which suffered damage by some bloke who just drove off, and the incident was witnessed by your 'minted' neighbours.......... Would you be upset if your neighbours did not tell you?

 

And I know being a witness can cause grief, but there are right ways and there are wrong ways.

Tell them, it's the right thing to do or otherwise it may play on your mind for ages?

tell them, simples. The guy who drove off is out of order, regardless how you get on with your neighbours

Tell your neighbor and put your mind at ease.

Telling the neighbour is both the right thing to do and may also improve your relationship with them.

Honesty is the best policy!...
