Default What the Hell is going on?

After receiving my car back from insurance only 6 months ago for paint and egg damage repairs, I ran out the front of my house after hearing smashed glass and laughing. (The car had of course driven off)

The car has been attacked again, this time by beer bottles?

The car is ******** and I am now left to foot the bill a second time?

Jeremy.

I wish cops could belt people. People like this need to be treated like feral animals.
They'll learn that they're unimportant and nobody cares who they are, and people consider them idiots more than anything else.

Do the same thing to them and they'll complain like stuck pigs who according to their friends, 'are great, caring people who wouldn't hurt a fly.'

Hope you are able to find out who they are and exact lawful justice someday.

I know how you feel. Same thing keeps happening to our cars (not to your extent though) I say set up CCTV at your place with night vision (infa red). Maybe ask the people in your street to keep an ear out. Also sleep with your windows open like I do and have a large weapon at hand.

You may well find that they will come more often as they know they can get away with it. It is a horrible thing to have happen and these people are absolute scum for doing it but as you may have found out the first time, police and insurence companies are of little to no assistance at all.

I know alot of people won't condone this but take matters into your own hands.

Is it because the dont parent their kids properly?

I grew up in this particular area. Its pretty disgusting considering owners in my street have paid 2 Million + dollars for their homes?

We have had multiple 3am eggings, and 3-4 am explosions going off waking my elderly neighbours. Drive off accidents twice

NOW While I was a bit of a wild child, I wouldn't have even dreamed of doing anything like this when I was a teenager.

i guess there sort of wild stiff differs from us, i agree with setting a cctv set up maybe motion sensor lights might do the trick but. regards to the beer bottles. just try not to get them wet and touch them use a stick if some are in tact n put them on a bench then. go to the police station worth a try never know. the guys who did this to your car could be on record. might save u footing the bill

Park your car in a more secure area to make it harder for grubs to do this. Save on insurance as well.

By chance do you have a teenage kid in your family?
If so they may have upset someone.

Park the car off the street at all times or fit one of the hail proof lockable car covers that are available.

The paint would be absolutely shot if I slid a hail proof car cover over the duco every single night.

Invest in a cheap infrared surveilence camera and a digital recorder that works on a 24 hour loop . When you identify the vermin who did it dont even bother with the police they'll do absolutely nothing meaningful . I suggest going to their place and pour aircraft brake fluid over every panel of their car . If they respray it it will keep peeling the paint in perpetuity as Aircraft brake fluid actualy gets into the metal .

Ive had trouble like this in the past and yes my son was a teenager back then.

The problem was solved with a baseball bat....they didnt know i was waiting in the dark that night.

CCTV setup was installed, 2 cars remain parked on the nature strip, no one has dared to return and try their luck, after the run in i saw the punks and they know that i know who they are and where they live should they need another lesson.
