more car vandalism (Lounged)

[alachlan]

A window got smashed on a car on my road (Tell Grove) last night, and it looks like whoever did it keyed about three cars before getting there (though missing out a Porsche), and then i saw another with the window smashed down Melbourne Grove on the way to the station... epidemic or a drunk with a grudge??!

[ClareC]

I saw 4 or 5 cars with smashed windows on Melbourne Grove today (en route to the station), didnt seem to be theft orientated.

[Kathryn]

Someone smashed the back window of my neighbours car the other day and tried to steal it. Apparently the police told her there is a spate of it at the moment in the area.

[Huguenot]

Windows smashed on my neighbours car last night - Crawthew Grove.

I didn't hear a thing. Nothing stolen, no apparent attempt to steal it... :'(

On the topic of spate of criminal activity - mates house got burgled this week, in the evening while they were out....sutle approach of lobbing a brick though double glazing. Police saying there are a lot happening in ED at the moment -SO LOCK UP AND HIDE VALUABLES OUT OF SIGHT. Good news blod samples and fingerprints were taken....so hopefully they will catch the thieving piece of $?%?$%.

[Polly D]

Blood samples ... ??!! Hope not belonging to your mate

[Jockey1]

This is so annoying. I saw quite a few cars with windows smashed, incl my sisters car but nothing was taken and no attempt to break the glovebox. Someone is obviously have a laugh. What a silly thing to do...

[mockney piers]

Saw my first one today, on grove lane, so it's spreading over the hill.

Be aware. Car thieves and vandals have been at it, again, on Friern Road.

[Brendan]

Anyone want to join me lurking in the shadows with a bat tonight to give these scrotes a little "welcome to the area"?

[snorky]

its a bit of a craze at the minute - kids pinch the emegency window hammers from buses and see how many windows they can pop - its very effective - almost silent in operation

dont worry tho - fireworks will be on sale soon to divert their attention

[SeanMacGabhann]

I saw that one on Friern Rd yesterday morning - or was it Wed?

Kerbside window - opportunistic smash and grab by the look of it

These ones seem to have been done over last night.

[mockney piers]

Wasn't there apost a few weeks back about some kids who'd been on a rampage. They got caught and it all stopped?

Or was that in a london freebie?

Can't remember now.

Go for it Brendan, but don't hurt them or you'll end up in the nick, just scare the bejeezus out of them.

[lozzyloz]

On Court Lane last June several cars (mostly 4x4's) had the windows smashed and then some again on Croxted Rd. Even a bus was attacked. Have no idea if it was linked or if the perpetrators were ever caught.

Saw Stumpys posts this am so: For the record I'm totally against vandalism of any sort regardless of the type of property or character of the owner, with the exception of property belonging to vandals.

[Brendan]

Yeah I'll dress in a full length leather coat and a gorilla mask.

Maybe it was the mayor's paper - according to that reputable publication crime in London rarely occurs.

[lozzyloz]

Surely more effective without the mask?

[Brendan]

Well possibly without my make-up.

[Maurice]

Yes we had a spate of these a while back. It's some sort of estate kids/gang type craze.

Either that or the junkies are fighting back and find counter-petitions a weak weapon.

[Brendan]

I don?t see the point in vandalising cars. Why not just nick the thing at lest you get something out of that.

Why destroy anything that someone else has designed and built? It should be appreciated.

Well except fax machines. I?m all for smashing up fax machines.

Word has it that there are some rather unsavoury types, who are causing mayhem all around here, and reside some where near Goodrich school.

[lozzyloz]

Any descriptions?

[Brendan]

Great big Victorian building, red and tan brickwork.

[Nero]

Fish, I live near Goodrich school, but I don't vandalise cars, or anything else! Any descriptions on age etc? My neighbour has had probs with his car being vandalised on G'rich, opp the school. Nero
