Pro - Does anyone else's nest boxes get soaked in rain?

[Egluntyne]

Went out last night to a restaurant, with Him indoors and a group of friends.

 

Had a lovely time, the meal and the company were superb.

 

When we left, we found that his car had been vandalised. Passenger and real window smashed to smithereens.

 

Nothing stolen. Nothing worth stealing in the car in fact. Just an umbrella and a map book, which, of course, weren't taken.

 

Now we have to waste a day sorting things out.

 

Grrr.

[Seagazer]

How mindless of the yob that did it. Grr! These people really do annoy me. They just don't think of anyone else. We've had it happen when our DD took the car to uni one time. That was fun trying to sort it out from a distance and she was due to go to Cornwall from Nottingham that day.

 

Sorry it ruined your evening and I hope you can get it sorted out quickly.

[Chucky Mama]

How completely mindless sounds like they were set on vandalism to have broken 2 windows. Where were you parked? Were there any other cars damaged? Must have been a shocking and very upsetting to find it like that as well infuriating.

[Sheilaz]

So pointless isn't it? I'm so sorry to hear that, it really takes the edge of a lovely evening.

All the sorting out to do next day, so annoying, I hope it goes smoothly. A big cuppa for Egluntyne & OH.

[Ain't Nobody Here]

Oh no, how awful . Good that nothing was taken but how infuriating. Don't suppose they've got CCTV where it was parked?

[WitchHazel]

Sorry to hear about this Egluntyne.

 

It's not just the hasasle of having to sort it out, getting the car repaired etc... it's also your no claims discount.

I hope there is CCTV nearby - definitely worth checking.

[Alis girls]

You have my sympathies - the idiot who hit my car in Dec wasnt insured and guess who has to pay out. I hate these people. May they rot in hell. Hugs ++

[Olly]

Oh no - how infuriating. It doesn't benefit them at all, and leaves you with a lot of trouble and time and cost to sort it all out. Sympathies, been through it myself.

[Goosey Lucy]

Oh what a horrid way to finish your evening. I hope Karma catches up with them soon.

[jlo]

Really sorry to hear about that. I just don't get the mindset of people who can do things like this.

 

OH and I were playing golf last weekend and a friend told us that when they had gone to get their ball out of one of the holes some little darling had defecated in there! I just don't get where the pleasure is in that either!

 

Hope it doesn't take too long to sort out. Make sure that the glass people sweep up all the fragments. I am still finding bits in my car from when someone smashed the glass and took OHs sports kit last August!

[clootie]

Yobs. Make my blood boil. Hopefully there's some cctv evidence, sorry to hear your evening was spoiled in this way.

 

Next time, leave the Bentley at home.

[Christian]

Oh no, what a horrible end to a lovely night

[bluekarin]

What is wrong with some people? I just don't understand what goes through these yobs minds to think that smashing some car windows is fun!!! Hope there is some CCTV footage to help catch them. Were other cars damaged at the same time? Hope it gets sorted quicky and smoothly for you.

[chickencam]

Mindless idiots.

 

Don't let them get you down, focus on the good stuff, don't let them win.

[Charlottechicken]

Mindless Morons There is no excuse for this type of criminal behaviour, and like others have said, it makes my blood boil too

 

So sorry you've had to experience this, and all the sorting out it takes .

 

Hope you notified the police (for what it's worth).

[Lavenders_Blue]

How awful for you. Why do people do this? What do they get from it?

I hope you manage to get everything sorted with the minimum of hassle.

[Purplemaniacs]

Sorry to hear that you had an awful end to a lovely evening.

 

Hope you get it sorted quickly.

 

Chrissie

[Egluntyne]

Cheers everyone.

 

No CCTV ... I went for a scout round this morning.

 

We've got a crime number but realistically, the police can't waste energy and resources on something as trivial as this.

 

The car can't be fettled until tomorrow afternoon/evening, which is a tad inconvenient, but in the grand scale of things, it is a mere hiccup.

 

I'm a great believer in Karma, so know the perp will get his comeuppance one day. I'd like to think he hurt himself on the broken glass.

[patsylabrador]

I'd like to think he hurt himself on the broken glass.

We can but hope.

[ubereglu]

That's just annoying. Hope you get it sorted soon though.

[Valkyrie]

How awful for you. Why do people do this? What do they get from it?

I hope you manage to get everything sorted with the minimum of hassle.

 

They do it for fun. They like seeing other people upset and they get a kick from it. Blasted oiks.

[Charlottechicken]

We've got a crime number but realistically, the police can't waste energy and resources on something as trivial as this.

 

 

Oh but they should. Stopping crime at this level would surely make them think twice about progressing on to other things. Reporting it is important though as it goes on the police stats .

 

In July last year one person caused thousands of pounds worth of damage to parked cars in my road, by breaking windows and ripping off wing mirrors as he walked along the road, drunk, at around 2am. Two residents phoned police only to be told as it was Friday, all available officers were on Broad Street (entertainment centre of Birmingham). Pity they never caught him as the insurance companies would've had a field day with him, the hole in his wallet would have made him think twice about doing it again.

[Jules.]

It's not nice

[Valkyrie]

A couple of weeks ago my son was beaten about the head by 3 other lads (5 in the gang altogether) while he was with his girlfriend and then they were both doused with beer. They called the police - 20 minutes later they turn up and at that point the gang jump on a train - not interested call British Rail Police. Called BR Police who seemed very interested what with CCTV on the trains and on site. Plus as Ciaran recognised one of them they also had a name. Then last week Ciaran lost his phone on the train - he was on the last stop before it got to the depot so "Ooops, word censored!"ody else was supposed to be on the train and therefore it should have been handed into the office by the staff. So story is that the assault case has been closed but they are eager to find the "thief" who "stole" his phone because it must be staff. Obviously the boy is gutted by the response and feels justice has not been carried out.

Plus it wasn't that late at night and one day some poor so and so will hop off the train and be seriously injured. But hey ho - who would want to tackle those thugs. Let time pass and it'll all blow over and the victims will give up.

 

As for a result with car crime - I wouldn't hold my breath. Galls me to say that, it really does. This is when Bah Humbug is not the word I would really like to use.

[Egluntyne]

Blimey Kooj .... a bit of broken glass is nothing compared to an assault. Hope your lad is OK.
