Hi there my girlfriend car was vandalised last Sunday morning around 1am in peak hill ,also around 7 others had keys scraped along them or the wing mirrors smashed off , bill of around ?500 to repair,also heard from my mechanic mate that cars in thickett road had been vandalised as well, looks like having a drop kerb put in is the only way to keep cars fairly safe from these half head vandals

On Friday (18/03) evening at 7pm we had a large piece of kerbstone chucked at our windscreen.

Car parked on drive, SE5/SE22 borders. Group of teenage boys seen running away and caught on CCTV. Reported to Police.


Phoned Insurance company who t/f me to Autoglass immediately, excess paid and promises of no reduction to NCB but of course renewal premium will be affected and that of neighbours. Sigh.

Insurance is a joke, isn't it.


You pay out for years, then if you eventually have to claim, they up your future premiums to recoup what THEY had to pay out.

I was reading the other day how the car insurance industry as a whole generally makes a loss, and has done over a 30-year period. Even when they turn a profit (2013 & 2014) it is really slender. If you have an FT subscription you can see the article here: http://www.ft.com/cms/s/3/3aeb5112-eb8f-11e5-bb79-2303682345c8.html#axzz43cwU63k0


It's thanks to intense competition that they don't shoot up even further. I wonder how much money we could all save if senseless acts of vandalism were reduced. The cost of 1 minute's damage is crazy.

    • Wanted 2 x Adult and 1 x Children tickets for Dulwich fireworks tonight please!
    • Labour have changed a number of things overnight.   1. VAT on school fees - this has resulted in 25,000 moving until state education. 2. Increasing NICs adding billions to the cost of going to work. 3. Introducing the Employment Rights Bill causing employers to stop hiring. This and item 2 have added 100,000 people to the unemployment scrapheap. These are also causing businesses to relocate further harming the economy. 4. Scrapping all the small boats deterrents meaning 60,000 illegal migrants have arrived in small boats since they were elected. 5. Dishing out huge public sector payroses with no conditions so we have a massively increased payroll and doctors etc arestill going out on strike. 6.changed IHT and non domicile tax rules causing 16,500 millionaires to leave the UK and stop paying any tax here at all forever. 7. Alongside 6, leaving the budget up until an historically late period after the last budget has caused a house price crash, killing the market and decimating government stamp duty receipts. 8. Their profligate borrowing (£100bn extra in just one year) to fund all their lavish promises means the government can now only borrow at the highest ever yields on records. They are more beholden to the bond markets than Liz Truss was. 9. The rate of inflation has doubled under this government. It was a healthy 2% when they came in. For most of the last year, as a result of all of the above it is now nearly 4%.   These are all decisions the Labour government took that have immediate cause and effect.  Its no good harking back to 15 years ago. The current administration was gifted the fastest growing economy in the G7 and within 15 months they have destroyed it.    And things are only going to get worse this winter.      
    • I use Autocar Repair in West Dulwich.. been using them for over 20 years. Excellent service… 
    • A lot to agree with here - don’t get me started on Irish people complaining about immigration! - but that final paragraph is once again a cop out  there’s a lot of extreme right wing money stirring up the division that people are feeling - but there is zero excuse for handing power to these people. We live in a democracy and if we have enough people willing to give it up then judging those people foolish enough to do so is not only something that will happen, it is something that the rest of us should be morally compelled to do  if someone wouldn’t “normally” vote for a racist party yet somehow will do so because they hear someone like me saying that would be bad, then you better believe I’m judging them
