Car Vanalism Upland Rd

[L16579]

Hi,

Was wondering if anyone else has had their wing mirror broken off recently? It has happened to our car twice in the last two weeks. It seems someone has deliberately broken off the wing mirror for some reason. Both times the car has been in the same place. First time it was Sunday night, second time it was Saturday.

Upland road is a long road, any hints to which part of upland road this is happening in ?

[L16579]

It is the Dunstans road/ lordship lane end.

I've seen a similar thread not too long ago though I don't remember which road/s. You are not on your own.

Quite a few cars had their wing mirrors ripped off last night on Crystal Palace Road.

Could it be someone thinks you're parking in 'their' spot ?

I've had mine bent inwards having parked at the top of Dunstans Rd, not broken though as my mirrors can be manually bent when parking.

Thought it odd at the time as it was the pavement side...

Perhaps it was bent inwards by someone knocking into it as they walked past?

I had a car (parked outside my house) with a pavement facing wing mirror snapped off last year - the 'best' version I could come up with was that a group had been talking around the car, someone had perched/ sat on the wing mirror and their weight had broken it - however when you get rows of them mindless vandalism does seem most likely. And that 'best' version was an attempt to give an 'accidental' spin to what was otherwise an unpleasant attack on my property.

I know some people on piermont road had their pavement side one taken off, along with the others all parked that side of the road, a few months back. I don't know if this is the same person but it was definitely a person who was hitting them off. Can't remember if they were stopped or had left by the time the police arrived.

Same happened to me near Barry rd / Underhill road. Pavement side. They snapped the metal bracket the mirror sits on. The car is a mitsubishi shogun and generally very robust so not an easy task to break it.

Very frustrating and very expensive. If its kids their parents should pay.. amd let them work it off in some way thats beneficial to the local area...

If its 18+ they should pay and then face some sort of a charge.. Public flogging should just about do it.

Its a mindless crime!!!

Petty vandalism on my car last night near the Castle pub- drunken prats no doubt
