Partners car vandalised! ARGH!!!
Discussion
Woke up this morning to find girlfriends car with a smashed windscreen, and dents on bonnet and wings. looks like they used a bottle- green glass on the bonnet, and the remains of the bottle politely positioned under the tyres. 
Car was sat on the driveway, and we've only just moved here! im sooooo angry. We hardly know anyone, and we havent upset anyone. i just dont understand.
Her car is nothing special- just an old green rover 218 coupe. But it means the world to her. I bought it for her a few years ago, when her old car was destroyed, in the night, when parked, but someone smashing into it and drove off.
Police are being useless. - they wont come down unless its a repeat offense, or unless its more serious. We have the bottle and broken shards that will have finger prints on them, and next door has security cam footage of the little scrotes. cant make out faces unfortunately, but one has a very recognisable bag.
ARGH!
Anyone know anywhere in the south east / north west london, that we could get a good deal on a windscreen? Shes 3rd party T&T only, and i dont think she has vandalism or windscreen cover.
Why does this stuff happen??? And why did they come up to the driveway?- of all cars they could pick, they chose to come up our driveway. I just dont understand. We both have hardly any money at the moment, and this is the last thing we need.

I had my GF-Four vandalised last year, rear spoiler ripped off and put through the rear screen (covered in fingerprints)- sorry to say the police aren't interested...
Prepare for the inevitable letter offering you after-trauma counselling!
Still, it was nice to see them send three cars and an ambulance out to a car park bump in town last week!

I had similar happen to my previous car just after christmas.
It was reported to the police, they were not particularly interested.
Funny thing is, I saw the person who did it as I was clearing the broken glass.
Weeks later I learned from a neighbour it was actually him.
I've seen him since in the area, sleeps rough with a couple of dogs. Well known to the police yet will not do anything about him.
I feel for you mate.

I take it his teeth might go missing soon then? Assuming the methodone hasn't already rotted them to stumps.It was reported to the police, they were not particularly interested.

OP, heart goes out to you. Like most people I am a very non violent person, but something like this is one of the few things that would make me want to kick someones head like a football at 5 a sides. I've worked like a dog for what I have, how dare some scrote feck it up.
I hope you get closure soon friend, I really do.

Absolute F
scum that probably know they can get away with it 
GestapoWatch, sadly, You're right 
It just drives me nuts, I've worked 2 or 3 jobs at most parts of my life, to get somewhere and afford nice things and to pay for training to get me a better job to hence try and get further in life. I've never stolen or robbed. Never abused someone elses property.
Hence my rage at cowardly scum who do things like this to property, as they dont have the balls to say something to your face.
There really are some dreadfull people in this society of ours right now.

Thats really st.
I don't understand why people just vandalize stuff - just a thought but are you sure she didn't cut someone up earlier that day, or pulled out in front of someone near to home and they decided to take revenge? It seems a bit odd that they took the effort of going up your driveway.
And I agree, the police are just fking useless when it comes to this stuff, its not easy so they are not interested.

Out of interest, was she rude to any yoofs before she parked up?
nope. we've only been moved in for two weeks. She's a very gentle person, wouldnt say boo to a ghost, and she's exceptionally well mannered on the road. (i'd go as far to say i'd even let her drive my car!)Only locals we've spoken to are our neighbours, and they were very pleasant people. - they showed us their cctv footage of the time we think the incident occurred (a housemate heard noises at that time, but saw nothing when he poked head out of window). cctv footage shows 4 yoofs in hoodies trying to throw a garbage bag at neighbours green house, then shows them walking on towards our driveway. one yoof had a very distinct handbag, sorry, shoulderbag. Will be keeping my eyes open

thats just horrible, hope the repair bill wasn't too much. fecking scum.thanks for all the messages everyone. and really horrid to hear how common vandalism like this seems to be too.
You have my full sympathy mate - Last summer I had my car vandalised 3 times in 2 months by some ststick. Called police out for the first 2 incidents but they werent interested! All they said was that they do patrol the area and was there somewhere else i could park my car. Didnt bother reporting 3rd incident. Now should i, a law abiding hard working guy, ever have caught the culprit then the police would be only too interested in putting me before the courts. The police are a joke - only interested in motoring offences or other 'easy' convictions.
