When this British woman learned the disappointing truth behind a strange £50 bill left on her car, she couldn’t believe it.
In the UK, it’s quite rare to see a £50 bill, so it was even more surprising for this woman to find one tucked under her windscreen wiper.
The £50 bill was joined on the windshield by a hastily written note.
And this note? Turned the woman’s day from bad to worse.

Why there was a strange £50 bill on her car
There’s no denying that your heart drops a bit when you see something tucked under your car’s windscreen wiper after you’ve been running errands.

“Sorry I hit your car, I hope this helps,” the note read.

The internet cracks the case wide open
A lot of people were shocked at the audacity that the perpetrator had to only leave £50 instead of their insurance details.
But others were skeptical about the whole situation, especially as it was posted by a body shop.
Some thought the video might have even been nothing more than a marketing ploy to create engagement.
One thing is for certain though, when something is usually left on your windshield, it’s never a good sign.
