Sorry to put up another crime post :/ But last night ( jan 30th) someone decided to go down the street I live and vandalise my car and my neighbours by scratching the word "vex" into the paint work on the bonnet in quite large letters. It happened on Underhill road near the cemetery, and I believe we were not the only ones. With this and my car being broken into 3 weeks ago I can already hear my Insurance premiums crashing through the roof skywards.

The reason I am posting is that the police want to know if anyone else was affected along this road.

If they have only scratched the paint, I'd suggest getting it re-sprayed out of your own pocket - will probably be cheaper in the long run. (Obviously if they have etched right into the metal, it's a bigger job).

not quite the same but lots of car's on Goodrich were scratched during the snow before Christmas. Looked as though someone had walked down the road with something like a metal coat hanger dragging it along every car as they went.


Our car's were (unfortunately) parked next to one another so both were scratched. I was relieved when I realised it was lots of cars effected too. It somehow feels worse if you think you have been singled out, not that I would wish what happened on anyone (if that makes sense ?!?!?).


I just think if someone actually get's pleasure out of something so pointless and downright nasty then they must be a very miserable individual! To be pitied!


Haven't claimed and don't intend to, its not worth the hike in premiums.

Thats how they broke into my car on underhill three weeks ago

Young police officer popped around today, he said there was a lot of people affected...definitely not going through the insurance, i just cant afford the hikes in premiums, i have claimed 3 times so far and every time my car was parked outside my front door & i wasn't any where near it. Once when someone hit as it as they drove past and drove off whilst it was parked, then the break in and now this..sheesh..not sure if its worth having it now its just an old banger !
I have to say I am strongly in favour of vigilante action. Decent law abiding citizens have got to stand up and give these so called people a bloody good kicking. The hug a hodie tea and biscuits approach plainly does not work. Its the only language these "people" understand.

At about 1am this morning, a loud crash woke us up. Some w*nker had decided to snap off the wing mirror of our car, which was parked in front of our house. What is wrong with with these people?!


Edit: just got the quote... 160 quid down the drain. All because some kid's football team lost.

    • It looks as though there will be 10 of us!  We are going to Love Dulwich again for a lunch and will checkout their 'normal' menu - from what we remember from the last 2 times we went = there was plenty to satisfy every one and they were happy to take party bookings.- Hubby and I have worked out that if all our daughters, grandchildren and great grandchildren were  to come - there would be 20 of us!! As it is - the Essex  family branch live too far away to come over for an evening - so we will meet up in Essex at a later date.
    • Tend to use 37 or 42 bus as rarely been able to find parking space. Sods Law - there is sometimes a few spaces when I bus it.!
    • Just to warn anyone thinking of employing or engaging Chris and Anna Richmond, that nothing has changed.  The accounts above from others are all too familiar.  A job that we were told would take between 6-8 months is now entering its 23rd month.  They have taken enormous amounts of money from us, finished nothing, and the quality of the work that they have delivered is poor to substandard.  They take no responsibility themselves - there are endless excuses and everything is someone else's fault.  They do not care about the impact that their actions have on anyone else.   They are, at best, chaotic. They have not delivered as the designers or project managers that they claim to be. They are rarely on site to monitor the progress or quality of the job that is being delivered and they and manage their largely non-English speaking workforce by WhatsApp and Google translate.  There has been little evidence that they employ the skilled tradespeople needed to lay tiles, install bathrooms and kitchens, decorate and complete to the standard that we have paid for.  I cannot stress enough, that if you are currently in discussion with Anna and Chris Richmond about a future job or have paid them money up front for a job that they have slipped in delivering, to quit while you are ahead.  Things won't get better.
    • Hi All, I’d like to recommend Aaron Manser, who several others on this forum have also used. Aaron is an excellent plasterer, and has just finished a complicated piece of plastering work for me, including a large expanse of ceiling. His work has been of the highest quality, his attention to detail is exceptional, and he’s also very quick, and tidy too. As an added bonus he has a lovely singing voice. Happy to provide any photos of the work he has done. This is the third time over the past few years I’ve had Aaron back. Aaron Manser - 07773 410661 Regards, Damien
