So it now looks the continuing saga of who damaged my car is coming to a end.

Said little 15yr old girl scrote never did the damage. She was protecting her boyfriend. AS it happens it looks like he is no longer her boyfriend as she has now admitted she didn't do the damage and grassed up her X. She has now been arrested for Obstrucing a police officer which she will get a written warning for! Let off lightly if you ask me.

Nice. HE has now been arrested and has admitted to doing it. Nice. He has previous agreviated vechile theft (nice lad eh?) but will according to the acting officer only get community service and a fine.

So who pays for the damage to my beloved RS? Well me at the end of the day. He was kicked out of his parents house and is dossing somewhere with a friend so has no income. I could take him to small claims court, get the money that way but he won't pay and I suspect at the age of 18 with no job couldn't care less if he has a CCJ against him.

Anyway that's all. Its good to see that the police actually take the time to invesitgate these minor offences and the copper involved with it has been excellent and kept me informed throughout.

Well done to North Yorkshire Police!

Still prosecute him. They could take a tiny percentage out of his dole plus if no one chased him he'll continue on his merry way.
Agreed.

I'd also want some kind of personal retribution. I'm weak like that.

Add me to that list too. Even if it costs you... do it.

It just might make him think twice about doing something bigger in future.

On there is so much retribution I want to unload on him most of it involves punching him repeatedly in the face but there will be some kind of retribution and I will make sure I inconvience him as much as possible. Didn't know that you could get the DHS to deduct stuff from his dole money.

I think you owe it to yourself to inconvenience the little git as much as possible, while the courts may only take a couple of pounds a time, it will mean that every month he gets a reminder.

Even if you know he cannot or will not pay, do it.

A CCJ will mean nothing to him at the moment, but the best bit is, it will cause him pain for years to come, (well at least 5).

So when he does try and get finance for his own car it will be very very difficult.

Or it might make him think 'what the hell, it can't get any worse'. Being pragmatic, if you can't get blood from a stone, is it worth going to the (taxpayer funded) expense of trying?

Sadly sounds like one of those lads who'll end up in prison one day and probably not just the once.

You could make him Bankrupt assuming the cost is large enough, that would make his life difficult as just obtaining a bank account will be a problem and he won't be able to cash his benefit....

Annoying as it is, I suspect persuing him for any compo is just going to make it more likely he ends up as a full time criminal. CCJs etc - you can't get a job, insurance is a nightmare, becomes very hard to live a legit life. Crime is easy and lucrative in comparison.

Just so PH massive don't come after me for being too liberal - I'd be all for him being made to do lots of community service, something suitably unpleasant.

Got any gardening/digging/hard labour type jobs that need doing in your garden? Ponds are quite handy!

I'd be inclined to do something that involves him having to do something constructive. If he declines the invite of hard labour, take it all the way with the courts, they can dish out some unusual punishments if the judge is half sensible.

I once arranged with a litter louts parents to clear 5 streets worth of litter from the local area & it worked thumbup

As much I'd love to here a story about him being billed for the damage or even better receive a slap or 2. I'd also hate to the hear the story of him then retaliating to this.

At the end of the day, these people are scum and wouldn't think twice about further damage to your property or worse. It's bks, but sometimes Its worth just moving on.

This plus 1.

He needs to feel some sort of pain. When it comes to applying fo ra credit card or credit etc theft or criminal damage might not show up. A CCJ would though
also it might come up when he visits brighthouse to order his flat screen tv on weekly payments.

You think he's going to a SHOP to BUY a telly???

I'd be more inclined to think the tele would be either the spoils of a night out, or a swap for some cash or other nicked goods.

Break his fingers...

As much as community service is a good punishment, I can't help but feel when they are working in the communal gardens of the flats I live in, that I basically have a gang of criminals networking in my garden.

This, sometimes a load of teenage scrotes come to clear the vegetation at the end of our road. As they leave you can see their noses pressed up against the windows of the minibus as their eyes scan peoples front rooms for flat screen TV's and playstations.

As I understand it, you can't get an attachment to benefits (i.e. deduction from benefits at source) if the case is a civil one. You can get an attachment to earnings, but it sounds like this fine young fellow won't have any of them for some years to come (i.e. ever.)

I'd still suggest pursuing him tho'. A CCJ to his name won't do any harm, and the hassle for him needs to be maximised as much as possible.

Can they make him pick litter from the side of the motorway?

In the hope an artic strays slightly and accidently gets him, he wouldn't be missed.

Definately go via the way of making his future difficult, anything you can get against his name on file has got to make things difficult.

Bit leftfield but.........

The kid's already pretty much at the bottom and there's probably not a great deal you can do to make his situation worse. Anyhoo, if you go for him he might come back and do it again?

So...take him for a spin in the RS. Let him see what he could maybe have one day if he gives himself a good talking to and applies himself in the right direction.

You never know.
