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.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
