Anger Management

Alright....I know it's just a car, even worse it's a Volvo. It's quite a nice Volvo though, a C70 T5 convertible that I've had since new. Since I work a lot from home nowadays I haven't needed to use my car since the weekend, so it's been parked up down the road all week and I haven't even looked at it.

It's been parked outside a house where the owners, despite having one of the only houses in our quaint little part of town with off street parking for two cars, defend the road ouside their house with traffic cones, wheelie bins and all manner of small minded deterents on the rare occasions when one of their own cars isn't parked there.

I've just nipped out in the car to take my son and all his holiday luggage to the station, and what do you know...the drivers door has been comprehensively keyed Damage? Shouldn't think I'll get any change out of £300.

It's the first time in quite a few years that I've suffered any vandal damage, but it makes me spit. The real bummer is that unless you catch someone at it red handed there is bugger all you can do. I'm pretty sure that I know who did it, but can I prove it ??? Of course not.

I'll knock on the door to ask if they've seen anyone and it'll be put down to kids no doubt, Funny thing is we had a spate of this sort of stuff a few years back that was so frequent that the police got involved and found that it was a vindictive adult resident (although not the people at this house). Apparently, according to the local Bill, it's more often territorial residents than kids.

Any anger management advice welcome...
