A MUM has issued a public thanks to an honest driver who scratched her car.
Claire Fleming came out of McDonald’s at Wolviston services to find £20 and a note on her windscreen from a mystery person who said they had hit her car door with theirs.
The 29-year-old from Billingham now wants to issue a public thank you to the mystery person, who she says could of easily left the scene without admitting the accident.
“I was in McDonald’s with the kids at about 2.30pm on Saturday and when I came out I could see the note on my windscreen,” said Claire, mum to Kobi, seven, and two-year-old Brody.
“Straight away I thought someone had bumped my car so I went around it looking for damage.
“I then was worried it was a scam so quickly took the note to read it.
“I couldn’t believe it when I saw the £20 note.”
The handwritten note that was left on Claire’s silver Vauxhall Meriva reads: “Really sorry but chipped your rear off-side door with ours in the wind.
“I’m hoping this will cover polish out.”
But it is not the only random act of kindness in Teesside in recent days.
On Monday, a purse containing £370 in cash was returned to its owner after it was found in The Shambles in Stockton and handed in at Stockton police office.
“The lady who lost the purse was naturally very pleased to have it back,” said the force.
Claire, who works in the canteen of the KP factory in Billingham and is married to Simon, 34, said: “It is just so kind that the person has felt the need to do this.
“There are so many bash and drives nowadays.”
“The only damage I can see is a small chip and a small black mark on the passenger door,” added Claire, who is 30 weeks pregnant with her third child.
“Both myself and my husband have had a good look and that is all I can spot.
“The marks are not something I would have noticed to be honest so I thought it would be nice to issue a public thank you.
“Even if the person wants to remain anonymous, I hope they read this so they know.”
