What is wrong with some people? keyed car...

The odious little t
t who I have the misfortune of parking next to (stipulated parking spaces in the apartments) has put a foot long scratch in my passenger door. It's a deep one too.
I asked him about it when I saw him, and he swore blind it must have been a contractor (god knows why a contractor would go into a quite bit of the car park with no plumbing or electrical bits around it and scratch a car...) that day but the security guard has narrowed it down to between 8pm and midnight the night before (judging when I was in/out and when he noticed it scratched) Oddly no contractors were about. If he'd just said sorry, that would have been fine. It's the squirming and making me look like a fool.
This bloke is a proper weirdo - hangs around the concrete pillars that support the buildings (big things that they are) and watches people. He also rifles through the bins looking for god knows what and likes to collect bits of paper. He sits in the passenger seat of his car and just waits....and waits.... and is always skulking around the carpark looking furtive. This is the third scratch on my car in the same sort of area - always happens after I've parked slightly off centre but within my space. He watches his neighbour getting in and out of her car. It's just wrong. Last night he hid behind the door to the stairwell when he saw me walking to the car, and just stood their watching. Ok enough of that....
It's obvious that it was deliberate as it is so long and deep with debris all around it - and it isn't the first time.
To top it off, he has a Thai wife much younger than him...twat. He must be nudging 65.
I just don't understand why people can't respect other peoples property and leave it alone, or just apologise if it was an accident, that would be fine. But blatantly lying?? Just not on. I wouldn't have asked for him to repair it (mind you, now I just want blood tbh) just some upfront honesty.
So a hefty repair bill thanks to him. Nice. At least it'll get all three scratches out.
(and before anyone says I'm blaming him un necessarily, there is absolutely no way that it wasn't him - the car is parked against a wall and is in a position so that no-one goes anywhere near it. That and he's got history for being an utter idiot and creepy pervy sort of bloke)

Either move house or kill him.
Cant fault the simplicity of this. It just works 
. Plus if you go for the Kill him option is it possible you could pump his wife.Actually am moving in a few weeks. The desire to show him what a proper scratch looks like on his precious Citroen is quite strong but fading. I just console myself that I never have to see the miserable b
d ever again but he has to live with himself. wker.Matt UK said:

Shame about your car. Can the CCTV get any more detail on who was parked next to you that night?
It's the same person all the time - we have numbered spaces that go with the flat. His car NEVER goes out (I've seen it move about 4 times in 5 years)Shame about your car. Can the CCTV get any more detail on who was parked next to you that night?
No CCTV coverage - it's possible to get from stairwell to car without being seen. If you use the lift you're on camera, but not if you go down the stairs. He knows this well as is always quizzing the security guard (who also finds him creepy and a bit uneasy to be around and is amazed that he can be down in the carpark for so long without being spotted on any camera) about stuff like that.
As I said, a proper proper nutter. The kind of bloke that not a single person has one single thing complimentary to say about him.

had my clio scratched down the bonnet with what looks like wolverines claws!! and to top it off, the idiot who did it took the time to do a swirl after one of the slashes... grrrrr
Does it look artistic though? I could perhaps deal with artistic. Mine isn't even fking straight or parallel with the other ones.If it was me, personally, and i was moving out soon like you say. I'd just do his car over, and as long as he doesn't know where your moving, let him know very clearly your did it.
Possibley get some local chavvies to make you up some sovreign (sp) rings with 'its was me you' (obviously more than one ring per finger) and punch that into his forehead.

console yourself with the fact you're moving and know his address 
there are some nobs about though. I asked the OH why there were dents on her bonnet and it turns out some tt thought it'd be funny to walk over her car.

is it true a car can be declared a write off by running over and denting the roof? due to a damage in structure? probs sounds a stupid question but a police officer told my mate that when he did that once. idiot...
If you managed to put a dent where it meets up with the windows/doors then it would probably be a write-off, but those bits are VERY strong (on a modern car) so its unlikely unless your mate is about 500kg.

When I had an MG I heard stories of cars being written off for dented bumpers due to the low value of the car and the rarity of getting replacement parts for it. Given the right car I don't see why a few dented panels wouldn't result in a writeoff.
That is true. I reversed a big 4x4 in a blind panic to avoid a big scrap in front of me and didn't see the Rover 45 behind me. Put a small dent in the bonnet and a crushed the grill. They wrote the car off! Gassing Station | General Gassing [Archive] | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
