Bockaaarck Posted April 21, 2010 Author Share Posted April 21, 2010 Anyone caught damaging a car like this should be executed on the spot. End of. Cricket Bat + Face = A sense that justice has been served Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bockaaarck Posted April 21, 2010 Author Share Posted April 21, 2010 lack of respect in society these days, my guess is a couple of drunks on the way home thinking its funny. so sorry to see this hope it gets sorted, and they find the twunts and make them pay. I think you're right mate, few beers too many, someone has a bright idea, ends up costing me a half a dozen other folks a load of time and money. If the Police believe they have a firm case I will make sure I indicate that I want a compensation award for the damage caused to be considerd . I may not see any of it but its the principle of it at the very least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bockaaarck Posted April 21, 2010 Author Share Posted April 21, 2010 You despair in the knowldge that the litle scroats, if found, will just get off with a ticking off. Just when is this country going to wake up to the need for real deterrents in place to stop mindless vandalism and other crime, which should include the parents for their failure to drum in right from wrong and to start disciplining their off-spring. Really feel for you Bockaaarck and the pain you now doubly have to suffer to get the mess sorted out. I agree mate, it's about people having to take responsibility for their actions and accepting the consequences. In an ideal world that should then be followed by provision of opportunities for people to make amends. Allowing them to learn something from their indiscretions so that they don't take a similar course in the future and society benefits as a whole. Or is that a stupid idea?

nixy Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 This stupid running over cars craze has been going on for years - my dad's bmw got done along with an entire row of cars years and years ago - why the hell they find it so amusing god only knows. Wonder if they'd find it amusing if they had to lie down in a line and be run over by a zed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rtbiscuit Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 we used to be a little naughty when me and my mates were in our late teens and drinking, but never vandalistic. the odd trolley ride. but we'd never nick the trolley only use one that had been found in the street. people just seem even worse these days.

Cheers mate, that would be much appreciated. I have to get 3 quotes for the work, so if you or the guys know somewhere good, point me in their direction. I'm not too concerned about the money side I just want to find somebody that's going to do an A1 job. I am going to see one guy on Friday if I can but suggestions for any other places are more than welcome. And thanks to everyone who's posted and understands the how pi**ed off I am about this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 just saw an advert for direct line insurance one of its selling points on the advert was the fact that it has vandalism cover that doesn't affect your no claims bonus etc. just seems to show that this kind of stuff is obviously on the rise as insurers seem to use it as a selling point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are lucky coppers seem to be interested and they got leads... can you put a gate or something on your drive? I'd be gutted... absolutely gutted... The police seem to have a number of leads and as my car wasn't the only car damaged that hopefully means they have a decent amount of evidence to get someone. To be honest it's down to a quick thinking neighbour hearing what was going on and calling the police so quickly that they have managed to get on to things straight away. I live right in the centre of town and unfortunately we don't have a drive or a garage. There is residents parking which is what I use, sometimes outside the house, sometimes along the road a bit, depending where I can find a space. I'm going to look in to renting a garage if I can find one near and which isn't stupidly expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M13KYF Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 gutting to read this, they should make the parents pay for all the damage, rather than some petty fine the court issues if it ever gets that far. I wonder if you could personally sue the parents if the kids are found guilty? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if you could personally sue the parents if the kids are found guilty? Well I fully intend to let the police know I want a compensation claim added to the criminal case (if that can be done) if they actually take the case to court. The risk being that if the person / people who're responsible for the damage are unemployed, students or the like that may limit the chances of getting anything. However If they are students I would hope that there may be some opportunity for gaining some recompense possibly from their parents / guardians (although I don't think there is any legal basis or precedent for any such claim) I have managed to scoot and get a quick quote done today, going to get a couple more. I quite like this as a potential paint job, would certainly be different New spoiler as I think we could have all guessed......new roof as well now by the sounds of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
