Tom Hutchison was alerted by a neighbour to the damage at the start of the week. He suspects his car was damaged by another road user, who failed to leave a note, as the street he lives on in Edinburgh is prone to speeding drivers making risky overtakes.
The car was parked on Lower Granton Road between Friday July 29, and Monday August 1, when it is thought to have been hit.

Although taking - and keeping - weight off your belly can be harder to do as we get older, diet expert Michael Mosley has a three-part plan to 'make a serious impact'.
The Fast 800 and 5:2 diet creator kicked off his advice to the Express by saying: "You need to eat smart, fast smart, and train smart." He explained how to get ahead of a 'rapidly-expanding' belly fat by getting to the bottom of the issue.

Loose Women 's Kaye Adams has said she hopes her professional partner for the new Strictly Come Dancing show will be gay.

I would feel embarrassed for them – because a young, hot heterosexual will be like he’s dancing with his mum.
“But if I got a nice gay guy, he’ll be fine with dancing with his mum.”
