       you locked it before doing a runner? didn't leave the keys?
       not difficult to work out who would fo that is it.

       Yeah I managed to lock the car, I'd lost them quite a while
       before parking up so no body actually saw who exited the car.

       You should assume that if they had the car examined by forensics
       they will have examined the inside as well as the outside. I
       imagine specialist forensic vehicle examiners have no difficulty
       opening vehicles without the key. Your driving and then doing a
       runner would be all they need to justify them opening the car.
       That's just an assumption by me, I've no personal knowledge or
       experience of this.

       Has the OP been served a NIP as they are now outside the 14 day
       window?  do they require one to be convicted of any driving
       offence?
       I suppose they can still be served a S172 where they have to say
       who was driving or face 6 points but if they are in the clear
       regarding driving offences they can name themselves.
       The only question is what was inside the car that the OP was
       afraid of being found? Is it worth 6 points to avoid further
       incriminating themselves regarding that.
