Description:
– Seller threw a timber block at the car.
– Police did not take action due to lack of evidence.
– Seeking advice on legal recourse for car damage.
NAL but you can’t prove he did anything, which is your issue. You would need solid proof to pursue anything in court.
At this point, you can’t even prove the damage done to your vehicle was due to the block to anyone. Its a matter of he said she said without any proof.
See if there are any neighbour’s who would be willing to share doorbell camera video, if there were any that caught the incident.
It sounds like the police didn’t consider there to be enough evidence to win a criminal prosecution. There’s not much you can do about that.
You can sue the seller in small claims court for your damages. The bar in civil court is lower than criminal court, so you may have a better chance there.
On Facebook Messenger take a picture of the damage and ask him why he did what he did
