Car keyed :(
Had my car keyed yesterday, thankfully not the BMW but my second car. F**kers keyed from the back to the front getting every panel.
Last Friday I was driving down my street when I saw couple of kids kicking wing mirrors, So I stopped and told them to pack it in. (trying to do the right thing). The thing that makes me think it's them is I see the regulalry walking down the street around 4pm and that was the time it was done, also the fact they had motive. Very tempted to sit outside at that time and wait for them to give them a peice of my mind, but I know that won't achieve anything and may result in further problems and the BMW getting done. but at the same time I don't want it happening again. as you can imagine i'm VERY PISSED OFF, and not sure what to do about it. is it worth calling the police? ETA: sorry should have posted this in off topic, can a mod move it please? |

Best thing Is not to confront these w**kers, but let the police get involved. You can't let these f**kers get away with It.. |

Last night we had loads of wheely bins kicked over at about 7.30pm, pikey kids in hoody's running and shouting down the street. Then they drew graffitti all over my car (and only mine) in the condensation, with their fingers..... Including drawing a huge penis and hairy bo##ocks on the bonnet... I had to hose it all off at 6.30 this morning! little f##kers. |

I find it really sad these idiots have nothing better to do and don't care about damaging property.
Seriously though, I think you need to find out who their parents are if you see any kids causing trouble, inform them, kids are more scared of their parents than the police, in most cases!

Jeez, there's a proliferation of low life at the moment! Can't we get these people to do something useful, like performing hopscotch in a minefield?

OK, because I work from home and my office window looks out onto the street I see these kids coming past the house at the same time everyday.
So today I kept an eye out looking for them, and sure enough I see them but today unlike normal before they come near my car they start running and run all the way up the street. Not sure if this is guilt but I've never seen them do this before. Anyway I jumped in my car and followed them up the street, I now know where one of them lives. I was about to knock on the door and have a word but I'm really unsure what it would achieve. I really don't want them coming back and going at the Bimma. I'm tempted to leave it and hope it's the end of it. Any advise? Hopscotch in a minefield sounds like the perfect solution. Also noticed they have a couple of Big Mercs and pimped out Audi parked outside, so obviously wouldn't condone thier kid kicking wing mirrors. |

I cannot understand how ANYONE can key a car. Its such a awful thing to do. How can they physically do it. I couldnt do it no matter how much i hated someone let alone to some randomer.
Remember going clubbing a few years ago and the Miswah was driving, came out to the car at 2am and some knobber had kicked her wing mirror off.

Sounds like one family at least are into cars, so I'd be tempted to post a anonymous letter addressed to the Homeowner advising them of the unacceptable behaviour of one of their offspring. If the parents have any modicum of social responsibility, hopefully the vandalism will stop.

Sorry to hear about your car Mistry. I dont think propositioning these w@nker$ would be the right path to go down.
There does seem to be a lot of bad eggs going about at the moment. N.Ireland and S.Ireland have gotten equally as bad recently too.

Thanks for the support guys, I'm glad I came away without knocking on the door, the last thing I want are things spiraling.
I know what you mean about damaging others property, I seriously can't understand it myself either. |

this is happening farr too often
sorry to hear your troubles mistry, i honestly dont think confronting them would do any good. The parents , well who knows, you say they have similar decent cars outside so maybe they would be sympathetic to you ?! Have you thought about a small scale CCTV system ? We have had one installed looking over our vehicles, it records onto a HD and can record monthes at a time of constant footage. It wasnt too expensive and can easily be self installed with a little DIY knowledge and a decent degree of common sence. It gives me a lot of reasurance ! ... just an idea

I think the parents are the answer, no parent would let their kids get away with doing things like that, though to be fair in my opinion the parents should have taught them not to behave like that in the first place.
Really doesn't matter how much money mummy and daddy has got more their attitude bringing them up, which raises the question with them behaving like that do they have parents who spend time with them??

Sorry to hear about this mistry.
Would it be worth having a word with your local coppers explaining the wing mirrors, your conversation with the scrotes and then the subsequent damage to your car. Maybe, just maybe if the police were prepared to have a word with either the little bastards and or their parents, then it may have some positive effect? Just a thought......must be sooooooo tempting to smack the little fu*kers though. |

He always looks like he's been beaten up but hey he's "cool" I never cut it with the naughty kids classic cars and eccentricity never was their scene

Best thing to do is confront the kids, most of them are likey to be scard of u once u let them know you aint one to be scard of.
i live in an area were we have a few what i like to call "waste kids" normall they use to hang around outside on the street, but once i turn 18 and brought an 30k Merc, i made it clear if u hang around outsde my house n theres a sracth on my car i blaming u whether it was you or not, and i let them knw i know were they live, from that day they stayed away from my house and cars and if they do go near my car i go outside n hav a few words, Always give the impression that you are a Rich waste kid so they think u will fight back if u have to. i knw u dnt wont to be like them but if they think you just some normal guy they mess up your car just for the fun of it. |
