Keying people's cars (on Crawthew Grove last week)

[Annasfield]

I park my car on Crawthew Grove last week and some mindless moron has decided to key the word "f*ck" on to my bonnet.

What goes through people's heads? If anyone has witnessed this I'd be grateful if you could let me know.

sorry to hear this. what car do you drive?

[fernado]

a f*cking ruined one. The sods.

My car door was keyed on Melbourne Grove about a month ago. Luckily not as bad as poor Annasfield, but a very deliberate looking large squiggle. Really, really annoying.

[Annasfield]

I can't get my head around why someone would deliberately do that? There's no comprehension to just a walking past and carving a line, but to stop and write a message?!

I'm so cross

Mine was also keyed last week on Derwent Grove. The twats are on a roll

My builder also had his car keyed about 10 days ago - a huge scratch going across both the front and back doors. He was parked on Hansler Road, outside the carpet shop in the middle of the afternoon.

So in addition to our car being keyed again in the last week or so while parked on Melbourne Grove (right near Lordship lane), it has now also had the driver side wing mirror smashed in. This looks very deliberate and was on the pavement side of the car, like someone just walked past and punched it. I discovered this yesterday morning whilst getting in the car to take my dad to the airport and spent much of the ride convincing him that East Dulwich is really a lovely place to live, and is really very safe, we just seem to have a major problem with car vandals. I'm so angry and going to have to shell out for a new wing mirror now on top of fixing the two spots where it has been keyed. We have reported this to the police now and I would encourage anyone else who has had even minor vandalism to their cars to do the same, as I hope that will help them take it all seriously.

I think they do it out of envy- you've got something they haven't so they spoil your thing. This is why I drive a scruffy oldish car.

[Annasfield]

Mine's an old scruffy car. Still didn't stop the pathetic little @??#s!

Same here.... 3 times now, keying (a lovely little flower painting and a long scratch on the roof), denting and now they tried smashing the windscreen (left a little hole). Also someone drove into it and there are big dents on the roof. Different locations - Lordship Lane near Pellatt Road, on Pellatt Road and now also opposite Colwell Road which I thought must be safer as away from the pub.I just bought the car without a scratch a month ago and it's now looking really rough. It's just a silver polo, nothing fancy but it's really annoying - especially if they try to smash windscreens now....
