Long shot but worth a try - car damaged, Sheffield
Discussion
Just posting to see if anyone knows the owner of this car? Parked on Clarkegrove Road in Sheffield. Have also posted on local Facebook groups
Only doing this because, if I was the owner, I wouldn’t want to come back to damage this serious at the end of a day. Needless to say it’s not driveable
Edit: just thought it was worth mentioning that this was how I found this car, and I didn’t see any damaged cars nearby.

Looks more like the owner has turned the front wheels into the kerb, then something (snow plough?) has collected the protruding wheel and ripped the front suspension off, pushing the other wheel into the kerb.
Given that there’s no damage on the door, I would be inclined to agree with you. It’s as if someone has hit the wheel (and only the wheel). But - the car wasn’t there yesterday, so unlikely to be a snow plough given that the snow’s melted.I hope I did the right thing, though, in trying to contact the owner in the event they’re not aware. I’ve never come across a situation like this before!
That is a strange looking one!
CSI mode on
:
There's some debris scattered around on the floor, and it looks quite neatly parked rather than abandoned. That would suggest that the impact took place after it was parked.
Driver's door mirror is missing, no sign of any impact damage to bonnet or front wings, osf wheel and suspension has been pushed from rear to front taking out the front bumper, suggesting that the car was either travelling backwards at impact ( unlikely given how it's parked ) or a passing vehicle has caused the damage.
Position of nsf wheel against the kerb makes it unlikely that the wheels were turned in to the kerb?
Hope the owner has comp insurance .....

I would guess that the wheels were pointed towards the kerb initially, then the force of the impact forced the near-side wheel straight. Whoever hit just the wheel, managing to avoid bodywork along the way, is accurate to say the least!CSI mode on

bin day? Any skips around?
I'd say a fairly big vehicle with something low sticking out has collected that - look at the damage to the inside of the wheel rim.
Given that its done that to the wheel but not damaged the side of the car I'm thinking of the things on the back of the bin lorry that lifts them.

Not sure about Sheffield, but Thursday is bin day where I am in Wakefield.I'd say a fairly big vehicle with something low sticking out has collected that - look at the damage to the inside of the wheel rim.

Bin day is Monday here, but that’s another vote for a big vehicle! I’ll be back that way within the next hour or two. If the car’s still there then I’ll see if there’s anything nearby that might have damaged itStill not located the owner by posting on Facebook, though! Not sure I ever will, frustrating as it is
