Hi Mike,

If you'd like to send me a private message with your reservation details, I'll be happy to investigate this with the team in Switzerland for you.

Thanks, Jess.

I would imaging you'd have to go to quite some careless effort to cause a scratch that deep & noticeable!

I am obviously unsure what I am supposed to say about the fact that there was no damage to the bodywork when I left it - is contacting the airlines regarding the HD CCTV a viable option as I am 100% sure that'd prove I was not responsible for the damage?

Thanks in advance for any advice,

Mike.
