spark67 Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 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.

spark67 Posted January 31, 2011 Author Share Posted January 31, 2011 Good grief..i just don't understand people who do things too deliberately cause people they don't know or have never even met anguish for no reason by mindlessly damaging their property, their not gaining anything from it Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/15529-car-vandalism/#findComment-406068 Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Obviously if they have etched right into the metal, it's a bigger job).

Dee Woffaz Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Sorry to be flippant about this but clearly someone was angry or 'vex', vexed in the Queens English. Eyes peeled for a vex (sic) person walking down your street.

MsDulwich Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 I and two other people have had our cars broke into (via the back quarter window). We are just off Underhill Road. Any suggestions as to what can be done ? (ie is it worth getting carwatch type posters printed)?

ClareC Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 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.

spark67 Posted February 2, 2011 Author Share Posted February 2, 2011 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 !

Sheepdog Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 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. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/15529-car-vandalism/#findComment-407317 Share on other sites More sharing options...

doubledipper Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 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. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/15529-car-vandalism/#findComment-429237 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Live4mykids Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 My elderly father had two of his car tyres slashed on Goodrich Road on Friday night/Saturday morning. He's pretty sure he didn't pee anyone off but judging by these posts, seems it was a pointless act by some random person.Oh boy.....
