Dear Neighbour


Someone has damaged our car by running a key, screwdriver or sharp object down the side panels. It has happened twice in the last 2 weeks. It?s very costly to repair and now it?s happened a second time we?re starting to get concerned. It?s also pretty upsetting for our children.


I have reported this to the police but am wondering if anyone else on Stuart Road or on neighbouring streets has experienced any similar damage to their vehicles in recent weeks or if you have seen any suspicious behaviour? If so please DM me. I?d be very grateful.


Many thanks,


Joe

I'd suspect that the presence of an expensive looking camera in your car is more likely to result in a smashed window and the theft of the camera, fake or otherwise.


Dash mounted cameras are generally designed to look forwards when the car is moving. Even assuming that you could keep it running and recording whilst the car is parked, what if your vandal keyed your car from the rear towards the front? All you'd likely see is them apparently innocently walking past your car.

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.  
    • I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
