        The compensation doesn't really compensate him at all. Or are his insurers picking up the tab?

        If so it'll go against the owners' No Claims Bonus. Either way, I'd be wanting more than a little under £3k if that happened to me!

        The guy pays 16k for something and gets less than 3k compensation? what a joke.

        Not a fucking chance on God's green earth that car was worth more than 2500

        I don't think that's relevant. The repayment should be the exact cost of replacing the car

        At least it only took two years and an investigation by the ombudsman to force the council to admit responsibility.

        If it's worth that much why would they crush it rather than auction it off for profit to the council tax payer?

        I'm betting it didn't belong to anyone on the council.

        So he pays 14 grand for a car, spends two and a half on doing it up and all he gets back is 2750 for a mistake the council made in turning his car into baked beans tins. I know where I would be telling them to stick the 2750, right up there fucking arse.
