Kids Throwing Stones At The Car...argh!

[Asi]

was working today and parked my car outside work. went back to the car after work and you know what stones all over the bonnet. rear passenger door scrathed to hell. dents on the bonnet. dent on rear bumper. got a hold of the cctv and you could clearly see who they are and what then done. rellly ****** off.

will post pics when i get time. so far i have phoned the police and got the cctv on a dvd.

so any idea what i should do next take it through insurance or...

thanks

Damn that's awful mate, sorry to say it but will probably need to be an insurance claim unless you can afford to repair it privately.........

Alternatively, you could wait for them to try it again and put some dents in them with a baseball bat

[Asi]

i know who the boys are they are local guess it will just be a insurance claim. cant afford anything at the moment after spending money on the car to get it fixed.

See if the police can wait for something. I doubt it thought. They will have faces, but no names.....

If the police cant do anything, just get some proof it was them and a police report. Maybe insurance will take it less serioisly when they know its not your fault, but will still go against no claims.

Tbh, i doubt the police will do anything in times like these :(

Are they the type of kids where you might be able to get something out of the parents? Or just the usual council estate types.......

[Asi]

council estate boys mate. right noob heads

Nightmare - hope it doesnt cost too much to fix but as said already it will count as a claim so unless you have protected ncb maybe worth sorting yourself.? Might be worth trying to get some of these dent master types out and amazing what they can do.

I really wish the ASBO involved getting severely beaten........... :shutit:

[Asi]

have protected no claims so thats fine from that way. only thing worry me is that would it make a bigg difference to my insurance in future?

[Gord]

Feel for you mate, but what's to stop them doing it again ? can you park somewhere else ?

[Asi]

yep go early and park behind the building but its more secure.

[Ally]

Sorry to hear this buddy. Hope they get what they deserve.

That's horrible, what a bunch of :tsktsk:

Even though your no-claims is protected, the trouble is the insurance company might decide to put up your premium anyway, because they think the fact you made a claim means you're in a higher-risk area.

[mikey's IS]

im not being picky but how have you got protected NCB when you are that age ( saw it on your profile )

[Saraj]

***** sorry to hear this, hate this kind of thing

[Yeldarb]

[dazz32]

S***t the little w****rs :tsktsk: really soz to hear about your car Asi ....does your insurance have vandalism cover like Directline insurance.....or is it not worth the money its printed on......?

[Asi]

i am with bells now. will have a look later today mate.

Agree with Stevie - they will count as a claim and probably bump your premium up next renewal anyway. Also depending on how much excess is maybe not worth claiming.

And the police have said........................ :)

what a bunch of ******$ .... sorry to hear

[Asi]

police came today. its the same police officor who dealt with when someone broke my rear light and got me £130 for it. he seen the cctv and identified the boys. when and interviewed one of them and got back to me and they have admitted that they were throwing stones at the car and named the other people doing it with them. they also found other people who have seen it aswell.

[Saraj]

thats excellent new just a waiting game to see what there can do

[Steviewevie]

Good news that you've got evidence against them etc. When my car got vandalised there was no CCTV, witnesses or anything else :tsktsk:
