It was 10:15 PM and yes I had my lights on, flashing even. I was about to leave the house without the light and then I remembered and went to fetch it from upstairs. The irony.
No I didn't take the guy's reg number, that was the last thing on my mind at the time. The owner of a shop nearby called the paramedics, not him. I didn't realise he wouldn't stick around until they came. Got £40 and kiss on the forehead... The most surreal experience of my life.
I called 101 to report it but apparently I'd have to go to the station to make a statement and I'm just not feeling up to that, the closest police station is in town.
