Yesterday morning, woke-up to find that Mrs Harpe's car had been vandalised - specifically some oik had popped the left side wing mirror glass out of the wing mirror. Not just on ours though but every car we could see up and down the road. No damage done, just glass removed on a random side of each car. Now whether it was done for joke or profit (and yes, i might have found it funny in my youth) it has been the most incredible ball ache to get a replacement part for her p-reg micra and it's cost me £16. On it's own not a huge cost and, you know, people suffer worst due to chav action everyday. But while the police wouldn't usally take an interest over such a minor event - the chav(s) in question have actually caused a total £2k worth of theivery - so they're being hunted and I'm hoping a law will come in just before they get caught that means I can remove their left eye as an equivilent punishment. What? /goes back to reading daily mail. |

Registered 20 years agoMy sympathies matey, this sort of thing is pretty much a regular occurence in our village to the point where people actually knocked on the door the other day to ask if I use my garage and if not can they store their car in it for 20 quid a week... o_O
I stow my own motor in there otherwise I'd have bitten their hands off!

Registered 19 years agoI believe virus writers who cause no-end of suffering should get the death penalty. In fact in I rate it almost as bad as murder, they can cause more collective suffering than the loss of a human life. That's before you even take into account econimic losses.
What? -
I live in a new gated flat development. The gate is supposed to provide security and the way it works is by key fob to enter. To exit however, you drive or walk up to the gates sensor which automatically opens it. So....the logical thing for a car-chav to do? Bend the bars of the gate, squeeze through nick or vandalise a car and simply walk out.
Three cars got 'dun-over' at the weekend in the car park and there are supposed to be functional CCTV cameras; including one on the gate. I imagine that it takes a while to bend the bars and the fact that whoever it was made it to the cars without getting stopped by the watchman (who is about 60)tends to suggest that these gated communities aren't secure.
A further chav step to take would be to wait for a tennant to walk up to the gate, mug them for the key fob and hey....the flat development is open for chav business!
I never take the fob out of my pocket and have taken out the label with my flat number on./ Loads of hooded chavs seem to congregate late at night.
All the police have managed to do is put up bright orange signs saying 'car theft is increasing! You could be at risk! Yeah....no shit Sherlock. Strange that the signs aren't designed to warn off the chavs though....
hmmmmm....liabillity off-setting I think they call it? (Chip & Pin is another example of liability-offsetting IMO) -
Yeah - you'd think the signs would do more good if they said:
"Look at these loverly cars, they're ripe for the vandalising. Help yourself but keep the noise down."
