warning : no cctv area where disabled parking bay is / pushbike area tesco express ed road


Recommended Posts

Hi everyone i parked my car on Monday 10th December around 12.30pm in the disabled parking bay .. and it was vandalised .. i reported this to the police and after they checked with tesco it was discovered that the camera they have does not capture any image for that disabled bay but does view all the other bays directly in front of the shop even though the camera is closer to that bay than any of the others.. this is a very dodgy area where the bikes are parked too so they are at risk too ..there is an alleyway just there too that the local drug addicts and prostitutes use and also the local toilet which leads out to garages at the rear and easy escape route

Surely you park anywhere at you're own risk?

I do feel sorry for your experience but think it is a little unfair to feel let down by Tescos. If you had parked somewhere else where the cameras did cover it wouldn't mean you would be less likely to have your car vandalised. The camera may not have caught anymore useful footage than none at all.

Sorry for your bad experience but if you parked outside my house and your car was vandalised would you feel I'd let you down? Horrible thing to happen but the people who you should be angry at are the low-lifes that damaged your car.

How long were you in the shop for? Seems very unusual to have your car done so early in the day in such a short timeframe?


Sounds like I'm blaming you with those questions... Sorry. Did they take anything of value and what was extent of damage? Were you able to get home?

thanks for your comments ..but the police seemed to think it might be one of the staff at tesco who did it ... although i told them i didnt think so as i do think i know who did this and parked there as my dad is disabled and was taking his shopping up for him , the camera was facing my car and the fact i knew i wouldnt be very long made me not worry about anything happening to my car and if it did was on camera .. i had my tyres slashed last week also on Solway road ... i was just posting this to let anyone else who parks in the disabled bay know that theyre vehicle or them for that matter is not on camera .. that bit in particular is dodgy as where the bikes are parked there is an alleyway that drug addicts and prostitutes use and others use as the local toilet ....its worrying that if anything serious happened there that you have no camera to view anything .. as for damage to my car there were two dents and all three door locks glued luckily the glue hadnt set and managed to get it all out .. oh and i am angry at the low life but just gutted that they werent caught on camera what ever the footage quality .. i wont lose any sleep over tesco not having camera for disabled bay just hope nothing happens to any of you or your cars whilst near there just warning you its not covered by cctv ..
Is it possible that someone is targetting you? To have tyres slashed and locks glued in the span of a week seems extremely unlucky. Lots of people park outside tesco every day without incident. To me...it seems likely to be the work or more than a random vandle. Vandles don't tend to glue locks, they tend to scratch paintwork or pull mirrors off. It makes no sense to me.....but then I could be completely wrong.
There does seem to be an increase in Hate Crimes against the Disabled. There are stories going around about them not really being disabled and get huge amounts of benefit. Maybe the perp thought you didn't look disabled and shouldn't be in the disabled bay?
I'm no Columbo, but it strikes me you are being singled out. Which would freak me out enough to demand the police do something about it. Vandalized twice in a week? What are the chances? About a zillion to one I'd say...
You might want to think about whether your Dad was the target here. There is a major issue around crime directed towards disabled people. I would mention this to the police. Vandalism like this seems unusual.

    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
