Sorry to hear about that Digsy. I have a friend who lives in Wavertree and the houses in his street have no off site parking so unfortunately you have to park on the road. In the last 6 months, his A6 has been keyed, both wing mirrors have been kicked off, the aerial has been snapped off and its been broken in to. His wife's Polo has almost been deprived of a wing mirror. Its got that bad that he is looking to move house and I won't go and visit him in my Zed until he does!
Seems to be particularly bad in Liverpool at the moment.... and thats before I get started on all the dog sh1t on the pavements!
Wavertree's a nightmare TBH. The best thing your pal could do is move.
Its nowhere near as bad as that here (touches something wooden quickly) but I'm near a station and big gangs of kids get off the train and have to walk by the house to get anywhere. I'm thinking of renting a garage and keeping it there as I'm hardly using it at the moment.
