Paint on cars - Dunstans road

[Monkey]

A number of cars on Dunstans road have got white paint on them this morning. The pots seem to have been left at the corner of underhill and upland road where another car was also smeared. Might be useful info if someone calls the neighbourhood police team. Tks.

[Jammyman]

Some cars also have Pink paint smeared on them, this is mindless vandalism.

[Whoosh]

Happened to mine too. We had ours keyed a couple of weeks ago too. Will be reporting both to the police today.

Which end of Dunstans is this? Or did someone just decide to run the whole length with a paint brush?

[Whoosh]

From what I saw it was mainly on the side windows. Looked like letters in some cases. I saw about 7 or 8 from a quick glance along the road this morning but wasn't early and lots of people would've left earlier so could've been much more. Was at least up to the Goodrich mini-roundabout.

They got half way up Underhill too.

Tossers.

Some cars had the word: "DIE" written on them. Nice!

It was tile adhesive by the time they reached one bit of street - like thick porridge. Bad luck if they targetted you - go to the Police who are gathering up all the incidents. They said a moped's been stolen too.

Gestures of vandalism are usually intended to scare people and thus reclaim a sense of 'ownership' of 'territory'. The ones who did it will be delighted if there is a big fuss and we all creep away indoors.

They did virtually every car on Hillcourt Road as well. It was Coving adhesive (pot was left on the corner of Hillcourt and Underhill) which thankfully was coming off this morning with soapy water.

My friend have told me that this was happened to his car too this is very rediculess.

This happened on Upland too, and I saw the people responsible, whom I assume could have also done the rest of the damage (it was 1:45am when I was woken up by loud voices, and saw them walk up the street). From what I understand one of my neighbours recognised one of them, so hopefully they will be reprimanded appropriately.

They were children, can't have been much older than 13. God only knows why/how they came to be roaming the streets at that time of the morning.

[Pickle]

Having just spoken to the police, can I urge anyone with information to contact them on the non emergency number (101).

Maybe they were German

saw two kids wandering around that area at about 11 ish when on my way home, probably aged about 12 max. Struck me as odd that they were out that late... May or may not be related

Rang 101 and reported my daubing this morning. [to add to the three times my car has been run into since I moved back to ED in January!] Anyone heard anything more? Horrible to see the car with DIE DIE on the windows at the end of Dunstans Road.

Someone knows where the paint etc. comes from- there is a lot of bits and pieces of stuff dumped on corners by idiots who have no respect for their own environment. And what happens when they are caught? There are no deterrents any more

I am really sorry to hear that these mindless acts of vandalism have happened to you all. I have reported this to the Peckham Rye Safer Neighbourhoods team.

I agree, if by 'reprimanded' you mean scared witless by a visit from the cops and many hours of cleaning, scrubbing etc of affected cars or similar.

Exactly what I mean Chillaxed!

Following on from the messages above one car covered in paint this morning on Dunstans Road... black gloss paint so I would echo don't leave paint on the street for people to take just in case this was opportunistic. If anyone sees a can in a bin or somewhere near upland road please drop a note on here just in case any fingerprints.

[uncleglen]

I wonder if these are the same kids who were in Crystal Palace Road a few weeks ago throwing eggs at cars?

[Renata Hamvas]

Hi Maria, I hope you manage to get it off ok. I will report this to the SNT.
