Gutted
 

Some low-life scumbag has walked over my car during the night. Footprints from bonnet to roof to rear. Scratches on all three sections and worst of all three significant dents in the roof, one of which is creased on the join of the roof to the rear screen. Can't tell you how angry I am on this forum and what I would do to him if I ever found out who it was. Footprints in the frost, so I know the tread of his shoes and shoe size. Police say nothing they can do.

No idea if it can be fixed or how much it will cost, but wont be cheap. Might have to claim on insurance and lose no claims if its a lot.

Utterly gutted

John,no amount of words can help and just what must be going on inside the head of such a lowlife that deseves no place on this planet is beyond me. To think some two people have bred little shi8s like that is another wonder of nature. Its a sad day and not a nice place to be when you hear of such platant disregard for some ones hard earned cash being destroyed. Sorry to hear it John, I hope you catch it, what ever nest it lives in then put your boot all over it . 4D

I'm so sorry Johny. I know how I would feel if it had been my car. What possible gain could they have got for doing this?

that's a real bugger mister, some people just contaminate the gene pool with their existence :mad:

What a bummer, Johnny. The rage you feel when this happens cannot be described.

I am really sorry to hear this Johnny. Rif raf, they seem to get everywhere these days!

Hope the repairs prove to be less costly than you think.

What do people get out of this sort of stupid behaviour? Total morons that just seem to get away with it time after time.

Sorry to hear about it, two minutes of drunken "fun" for some dimwit and loads of grief for you to have to sort out.

What a nightmare............bloody pikey chavs............

My car, garage and front of house was McFlurried by some passing car the other night that was annoying enough!!!

Hope you get it sorted with not too much hassle.

I know exactly how you feel, had an incident like this with the kids old h reg micra. Some scum kicked off both door mirrors. My misses saw him do it then run off. Then as i'm typing this message i get a phone call from the eldest daughter who is at uni in reading telling us that her bike has been nicked over night.
Not quite on the scale of what has happened to you i know but still made my blood boil that some tw@t would do that.

Hope you get it sorted with the minimum of hassle asap mate.

.....and the day got worse. Coming out of a car park in Nottingham with steep and tight ramp, the front spoiler scratched on the ground at 1mph and then I immediately kerbed the rear alloy, so within a day I have a dented roof, scratched bonnet, scratched wheel and scratched spoiler. My immaculate car is now looking unloved and is not the same. Need to get it all fixed asap.

Then I get up this morning and watch some stupid woman park in front of me. There's only one official space before the end of the street, so she has clear space in front of her, but she reverses back and forward, on and off with the handbrake as I am on a steep hill, her car is going up and down as she goes from handbrake fully on to screaming engine as she jerks forward. At this time, I'm just watching, struck motionless, mouth open waiting for the bump, but hey, good girl, she misses me by literally 2 inches. My car is now stuck in position, no way I can get out with 2 inches at the front and about a foot at the back. Luckily I didn't need to use it, but why did she leave 6 feet in front of her and 2 inches behind? She was gone by the time I went out, so I left a nice note on her screen questioning her right to hold a driving licence

Just noticed the scum from the other night have kicked over the new trees that are staked up.

oh and when we got up this morning the Aga isn't working and no weekend call out, so take away tonight. hey ho. Is it ok to drink at home during the day?

You have to look on the bright side WJB things can only get better it's only January:)

We should organise a vigilante group and give the feckers a good slapping.:devil:

Anyone seen Mav & his base ball bat:lol:

WJB Did you try going to church today and asking for forgiveness for what ever it is you have done

Sounds like the person whos footprint matches the one on your roof could do with a sizeable foot print right where it hurts.

I know exactly what you mean John. Sounds like we've got a similar problem, on-street parking, on a steep hill, on a narrow street. I just went out on Sunday and found that my drivers door mirror has been smacked, again, and it's all split and broken. I've also lost count of the number of times people have left big scuffs on the corners of my bumpers as they've been clumsy getting in and out of parking spaces. I used to take it down to the body shop each time and get it fixed (at my own expense because the repair wasn't worth claiming for with a £350 excess and the effect on no claims) and only one person in all that time has had the courtesy to leave a note on my car offering to pay for the damage. I've given up now after one such repair lasted less than a day, and some arse has keyed the front wing.

Of course, my car is nowhere near as lush as yours, but I still worked hard for a car that other people are knocking lumps off and it's looking very shabby as a result.

As if that's not enough, I've lived in my road for over 20 years and the parking has always been tight, but now some busybody has taken to leaving computer printed notes on peoples cars with a picture of a Fire Engine and a Dust Cart (of all things) saying "Please do not block the road to these vehicles - you have now been reported to the police" - anonymous notes of course, left on vehicles that are perfectly legitimately parked.

Bastids.

Hope you get the chance to walk over the arse who did it

Gutted for you mate-and that's exactly what needs to happen to the Aholes who did this-preferably using a bread knife.

John

Given the day you had I'd say it was essential John!!

It seems at times as though the country is inundated with mindless morons just wandering around looking for something to destroy

Never assume that a driver has a license just because they are behind the wheel of a car, it makes you wonder just how many are driving around with no training whatsoever.

Hope things pick up for you!!!

Hey, I commuted for 4 years all weathers into London and can say for sure that the numbers the authorities think they have for drivers are way off the mark - cars not taxed, insured, drivers with no licence, drivers with a licence where someone else did the test for them, cars completely unroadworthy, (I recall seeing the canvas on a rear tyre on a car once)

Oh and the first estimate for the damage to my car is £4,000 plus

I'm beyond words to explain this

Cheaper owning a Ducati, well just, nothing like a kick in the teeth when you're down. 4D

It wasn't that long ago that you wouldn't have got away with a faulty light on your car for more than a couple of weeks. The whole traffic enforcement thing is a joke now, totally out of control IMHO and no way it will get better.

We've been bombarded with more petty legislation by this government than any other in history and they've no more chance of enforcing it or seeing a return to basic law and order than fly to the moon.

True, all too true, unfortunately.

The legal profession is up in arms about it 'cos nobody knows whether they are coming or going. I attended a lecture on this subject where David Omerod QC claimed that if you made a pile of all the legislation passed prior to 1997 and then made a pile of all the post 1997 law, the post '97 pile would be higher!

WeeJohnnyB - so sorry to hear what those mindless vandals have done to you. Hope you get it sorted out as quickly and cheaply as possible.
