Just a heads up really. Yesterday morning i was greeted with 2 coppers taking pictures and dusting for prints and foot prints on every car up the street from my house. Turns out a group of inbred a
holes thought it would be funny to run over over car on the street denting roofs, bonnets, and tailgates plus kicking off a few wingmirrors for good luck.
As selfish as it sounds, i'm glad my motor was being used by the girlfriend.
I used to think Rosemount was a nice area but its starting to go downhill.
The street in question is West Mount Street, off Mount Street.
bds the lot of them.

b
ds the lot of them.I heard this on Northsound. Around 20 cars in total were damaged. They were saying the youngsters come from miles around, p1$$ed and seem to be targeting the area. No one was caught, even though it was a large group.
I have a friend who is a copper and he said Rosemount has the highest motor related crime in the city, mostly drunken vanalism.
I know a few friends who had their cars damaged in the area on separate occassions in the last year or so. One of them had his car broken into, but nothing taken. His neighbours car wasn't so lucky, they let the handbrake off and it rolled down the hill
Other had his soft top slashed.
The cops have been dedicated patrols in the area as people were being attacked on the way home last year
I hate the UK sometimes. Could be an awesome country if it wasn't for neds & bams (and Gordon Brown).

Quite Frankly the way to deal with these idiots is for the police to catch, detain over weekend,prosecute them all and then for them to be sued or disqualified from holding a licence.
Just wish the police would spend less time on speeding and more time on criminals! I keep wanting to ask traffic cops doing pointless speed detection for revenue raising about the people who smashed into my house, stole my car and wrote it off! When i asked the traffic cops if they had checked hospitals etc, was told 'just claim it on your insurance' and walked away!
Rant nearly over!!!!

just spotted an update on this http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/north_east/805...
One thing I notice in the Aberdeen City Centre. You see police around 8pm - 12.30am wknds, but not a lot after this time. It's as if they turn a blind eye to the drunkeness behaviour that goes on. You really need patrols up till 4am or shut the clubs earlier..

4 people have been charged with the damage. Why the other 26 or how ever many were there were not done is beyond me.
There were some cars in a sorry state after all of this.
Kittybrewster is not too close really, but like someone has said, its used a through way for people driving and walking so all kind of damage gets done.

Feel for those who's cars got trashed; some wk did the same to my old car last year when I was 1 week away from selling it! Bonnet trashed, cracked windscreen and dented and scratched roof; that was on the hardgate between Howburn and Hollybank. I now make an effort not to leave my car anywhere on the hardgate or Holburn street on a Friday or Saturday night, although in truth no where is 100% safe.

Isn't that the same thing ????Aberdeen is the most unsafe-feeling place I have ever lived. I lived in Glasgow before and felt safer
te too, that doesn't help.jshell said:

Agreed. Lived in Glasgow, Aberdeen and Edinburgh. Aberdeen is by far the worse for chances of trouble at night in the city centre. Aberdeen is small with the bad areas having easy access to the Centre, but Glasgow and Edinburgh scrotes tend to stay mostly in the outlying schemes. Aberdeen police are ste too, that doesn't help.[/quote]

Agree. Still if we had better Police, not just more CCTV then it would help. Very rarely do I see cops on the beat and I live in the city centre.
I live just up the road from Rosemount and it's a pretty dodgy area. Been offered "favours" by an old man before, and quite often a few dodgy people hanging around all the time. Wouldn't leave a car on the street if I had one.
In terms of the police a friend's brother transfered up here from down in England, and says the police are really bad compared to down there, just not bothering to do anything about a lot of "small" crimes.
