I came home fro work work yesterday to find damage to the drivers corner of my car, whilst looking at the damage neighbour comes out and says the new driver from up the road had an incident in the morning where she got stuck on their lawn. She would have had to go past my car to get to the lawn. Said neighbour is pretty sure the new driver caused the damage although didn't see it.

Send them to your insurers and let them deal with it You re not going to solve this like some sort of car detective. Even if you do, the driver / parents clearly aren t interested. They ll carry on denying it to their insurance. Yours will continue to push it and it ll end up in court. At which point they will fold. They always do when it gets serious. This is what I would do. Unfortunately, unless you have an independent witness who actually saw her hit your car, then she will probably deny all knowledge. Your insurer will have a half-hearted go at recovery but will probably fold at the first hurdle. Hugely frustrating. It has probably cost these parents an arm and a leg to get their daughter on the road and faced with first year loss of NCB and an accident on her record then second year insurance costs will be eye-watering, so the daughter is likely denying it, and the parents are either complicit in knowing she has done it, or are blindly choosing to believe her version of events. The long term solution of course is keying every panel on the dad's car when you see it parked out and about away from the home, outside the view of any witnesses and CCTV. (That's a joke, btw, I would never stoop so low)
