Yep mine too. Twice. Depending on your paintwork, you may have no choice but to strip down every panel. It's such a mindless crime and can cost a thousand or more to fix. Arseholes.


I was 'fortunate' in that someone else then crashed into the same part of the car while it was parked and I had it all sorted as one claim.


Try http://www.chipsaway.co.uk for a quote if you're not going the insurance route.

Oh and by the way James, I did try and report the crime to the Police by phone or online. They told me the only way to report car-related crime is in person at a police station. The last time I tried that it took half a day queueing. I'm as civically minded as the next guy, but I'm not going to that kind of trouble for such minimal benefit.


I made an official complaint about their reporting procedures and I got a long and sternly-worded letter in reply telling me I was required by law to go to the police station. I replied stating simply that I would not. To which I got an even longer letter phrased in lecturing terms from Met Command & Control. I still refuse. Get the police to join the 21st century and allow things like this to be reported online and I'll happily comply. I've already lost time, 2 weeks' use of my car, 2 years' no claims, they want a half day's lost wages as well? No.

Can you please for ward me this email or redact it with your name and details as PM please?

Who would ever get around to going to a Police station - especially after Boris closing so many?

I've had local Police respond saying about all car crime having to be reported in person at Police stations and not via 101:


"No that is not correct, we do like attending motor vehicle calls and this may have been what the operator has misinterpreted. If you have their details I will get it sorted today for them."

Our car got keyed really badly last night on Pellatt Road, looks like we were singled out as couldn't see any other cars, really bad damage all 4 panels of the driving side plus the bonnet which means it will >?1000 to fix. So annoying, don't know why someone would do such a thing.


Have reported it to the police first thing but please be vigilant!

Sorry to hear about people who have been targeted by this mindless vandalism..


I would love to see people who do this to have their Designer Trainers shredded and their Smart phones

confiscated and crushed.. See how they like it..


Better than ?100 fine and 50 hours community service.

I'm sure I've seen a Lamborghini (or something similarly 24 inches high and costing six figures) parked overnight in Pellatt Road.


I thought at the time... "Brave fellow"!

    • 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
