Go to court over a £25 pair of shorts? Plus the police need to find the actual driver (since the driver claimed wasnt even his car, not insured etc) so if they have to go to the effort to find him, they will have to push the charges surely? The charges being pushed is satisfaction enough for me.

Well lets face it, Greater Manchester Police have a very poor rep, I am just making it as easy as possible. This avoids "lack of evidence", "requires to many resources" or alternative cliche police response, all the police need to do is contact the ambulance service to see who the paramedic at the scene was (the accident he was attending should be logged to this is another way to trace the paramedic, ideally id have got his name but i wasnt thinking straight and was too busy trying get driver details) and then to contact the car owner.
This way any non-action is ultimatelly down to their shortcomings and I can complain about it.
