Morning all.
Well, it had to happen to me sooner or later, living in a pretty scummy area of Wolverhampton and having a fairly nice car.
Woken at 3.30 this morning to the sound of a car alarm, thought it may be a neighbour so leapt out of bed, only to look down onto my drive and see 2 chav looking lads about 18 next to my car with its headlights flashing on and off, and the alarm sounding.
IN a tired panick I just smacked the bedroom window, causing them to run off down the street.
On going outside to check the car was all right there are footprints on the bonnet and the w@nkers have put the boot into it causing it to completely smash but not shatter. So a new windscreen for me.
Phoned the station I work from, and probably less than 10 minutes later (which I was very pleased with for a Friday night/Saturday morning shift) a panda car arrived, gave the basic description, and they went and looked for them,but obviously no joy as there are a million and one places they can hide away from the roads.
So now goes the task of finding out how I am going to get this fixed, calling insurance in a bit, don't have protected no claims as never thought mine would be done like that (typical thinking, I know) Haven't got a clue what costs are involved here.
Really is gutting on so many levels. I was going to clean it this morning and take it to the Pod for the show, and more so because these kids didn't do it to get into the car, as you would not try to get in through the windscreen, I don't really know why they did it, the PC said that they may have seen me leaving the station as its only about 3 miles away, though I do doubt that is the case. I believe it is just jealousy, as they could only afford a 96 Metro, lets damage someone elses car that is their pride and joy, and that I work hard to pay for.
Sorry if this is a bit long winded, I wish that I hadn't knocked the window, and had stuck my trainers on and run out, but you always have the what ifs, I didn't realise they had damaged the car, so just wanted them away from my car! :sad1:

Gutted for you mate :sad1:. I once had a car keyed in a car park & it's a horrible thing when you have you'r pride & joy damaged. I take it you have no garage ?.

Nope, live in a small 2 bed semi, so just enough room on the drive for 2 cars.

Gutted for you mate they are scumballs!!
I am from wolves to, always make sure mines in the garage every night. Whereabouts you from?
What do people feel the need to do these things? Can understand them stealing for profit in a way but just smashing someone elses hard earned up for fun?
W***ers!! :fighting: :fighting: :fighting:

.
Gutted for you, Al... And feeling extremely angry in spite of it not being my pride and joy.
It's because it's so wilful and premeditated. It brings out the worst in me - I'd really like to do such scum harsh physical harm! Grrrrrrrrrrrr!!!! :fighting:

Let's be having ya! You little barsturds!!
Bring back corporal punishment and parental control!
-
gutted for you mate :sad1:
-
pure scumbags evil little bas......
-
Feel gutted for you. This is why I made sure every place I lived in had a garage big enough for the GTI. You just can't trust anyone.
-
Thats not good news Al and I feel gutted for you. Even more gutted you didn't manage to get out there and give them a good shoeing!! :fighting: :fighting:
-
That's sh|t news Al, sorry to hear bud :fighting:
Absolute scum. Although, they're not wise criminals picking on a fed! Justice & revenge might just catch up with them a little quicker, here's hoping... :congrats:
-
gutted for you mate

Even more annoying, speaking to a few of the neighbours this morning. They said the 2 lads ran off down the road, and then one came back and ducked behind the fence at the end of my drive for a few seconds before running back to his mate and they walked off.
Makes me so mad that I was on the phone to the station rather than sprinting out there, but as I didn't know they had actually damaged my car at that point then I did it that way.
Phoned work and am on a half night shift tonight, lo and behold if any car crime goes on in my area!!!
-
Sorry to hear this bud, constant worry of mine! Hope you catch the little f*ckers! :fighting:
-
I think I would rather have it stolen than to have to look at it sat on my drive damaged. Well and truely f**ks me off hearing stuff like this. No need at all.
The things we have to do to protect our stuff these days is out of order. I guess a garage is the best bet if you own a nice car. Sometimes its better to drive a 1.1 shed as you dont give a f**k about it.
-
Hi ALI, you know im from wolves, thats sh*t mate, just because you have nice motor thay think thay can damage it whats wrong with people dont kids have nothing else to do at night??? :stupid: no need for it, really is sad!! thay need good kicking themselves if ask me. :fighting: The low life dont know you work at the station wouldnt be brave enough mate.Pure jealousy mate!!!! Ive been stopped a few times by the police while driving and even had police knocking on my door saying there has been aload of golf gti mk5 being stolen recently in wolverhampton be careful , i live in decent area makes you think sometimes, is it worth having nice car ??????
-
What a sickener , you must be gutted , theres some right scumbags wasting oxygen in this country , thats for sure.....
-
^^^^
@ Those questioning whether it's worth owning a nice car:
Yes, it is worth it - Don't let the scumbags win!
-
This really does suck.com ! I think running over the top of cars must the the latest scumbag craze! I know someone who had it done to his Merc. Disrespectfull @ssholes! Really gutted for you :-(
-
I don't think windscreen claims effect your no claims bonus do they?
I feel for you though mate. Had mine keys right across the bonnet outside the station I work from and we still didn't catch the little scrotes! Get the snouts out and about and you'll soon find out who it is. Then you can go issue a physical warning to them! :fighting:
-
Sorry to hear the news Al...why can't people leave other people stuff alone.
Not near Whitmore Reans was it... :fighting:

Not quite mate,
Bushbury. Pretty crappy area as close to Low Hill, but never had any bother before.
-
Sorry to hear it Al, we all work hard to have a nice car and consider it our pride and joy. It's a shame about the scumbags that ruin it for everyone. :fighting:
But as RR says, we shouldn't let them win by driving scrap metal (corsa,fiesta...!).
Hope you sort it soon :happy2:
-
Really feel for you Al. Daren't comment on what I'd feel like doing to the scum that did that. :fighting:

I know it isn't legal but when I was a lad (nearly half a century ago) and at an English boarding school, we were allowed in the local town every Tuesday afternoon and in Summer we wore straw hats (boaters). One day a couple of our youngsters got picked on and beaten up by local yobs probably because the boaters sparked them off. Being a small town it didn't take too long to find out who they were and a band of our toughest sixth form rugby players and army cadet corps guys (we actually had an armery at school!) were assembled one evening and given unofficial permission to go and teach the scumbags a lesson. Our boys never got bothered again!
I may sound old fashioned but I'm afraid that I strongly believe that some harsher discipline from both parents and schools would significantly reduce such criminal behaviour etc.

Totally agree with you mate.

Spoke to insurance, happy to say that I can have my windscreen fixed for the excess price (£90) just waiting on autoglass to get in the blue windscreen and then out they come to fix it, Doesn't effect my no claims bonus, and I am thankful that no other damage was caused, as it would have really smacked my insurance up.
Spoken to a mate, his father in laws was also done a few days before mine, and a friend of his at work on the next street had a shed broken into by 2 lads about 30 minutes before my car was done. Sounds like its local pricks doing it. I am on a night shift tonight, so am paying extra attention to the area, know what trainers i'm looking for too!

....It's actually true - I was there. A friend (who shall remain nameless) who's a policeman. And the crime was car related too. No serious injury done but a painful lesson taught, we hope.

Nike air max looking at the fore foot print. Those typical square blocks. You can tell them a mile off. Unfortunately also the most common trainer type I'm led to believe for the chavvy f*ckers who wear them.
No oiffence to the good guys that wear Air max. I had a couple of pairs myself back in the day.

....Nike's Air Max have been a favourite of mine for a long time (I'm 63yo) and I wear one of two pairs almost daily. I think I'm a good guy.... Most of the time.

:rolleye: Its not the shoes, its the feet that are in them which are connected to the legs, connected to the @rsehole thats the problem.....
-
This is sickening, sorry to see and hear of your troubles Al, I hope you find those responsible and dish out some suitable justice!
-
You are of course correct it's not the shoe but the person wearing them that are at fault. My post does tar everyone hence the good guy bit at the end. Unfortunately the success of the Air Max makes tracking down a scrote by just the mark of his trainer on the bonnet makes things a bit tricky. I f you do catch up with them can I recommend hobbling them. For those that don't know what this is google "Misery" hobbling scene.
