it's not a pretty car at all.... :yes:

perhaps she is jealous you have a nice fabia estate

Sorry to hear this. Some people are just SCUM.

Dont take the law into your own hands....

I know mate, I believe in karma so maybe she will trip and fall into a man hole or something!

I doubt the police will be able to help to be honest, but my mate did knock on her door for me last night ( I think) but she was at work...we'll try again. at least its a warning to her and she won't try it again.

Is she a lot older than you or your mate? From personal experience I have been on the recieving end of abuse like that from the over 50s a number of times. Always seems to be promoted by resentment that someone younger than them can have a nicer car or live in the same estate as them.

Dont take the law into your own hands and probably best to avoid conflict with her. If she is that wound up she probably has high blood pressure and will probably drop dead in front of you at the next confrontation, then you will be being accused of hounding some innocent woman to her death!

Thats not what I would like to see!! yeah, she's an older bitter lady, with very nice hand writing - haha than I am I'm 23.... she's mid 50's I'd say

Typical some of that generation wind me up no end, going on about young people and convienently forgetting that it was them that drove this country onto the rocks! Rant over.......

Best to stay well away from her.

People used to advise using Jeweller's Rouge for the removal of scratches on glass, never tried it myself but may be worth a look. As for the sight of a police car - don't hold your breath.

used jewellers rouge here on some scratches on a windscreen before but its hard and very messy work.

used an electric drill with a felt mop and it did remove light to medium scratches but didnt touch the heavier stuff.

try some of the windscreen companys as am sure they have equipment for removing scratches.

I'm sickened to read this....

I'd take a few minutes to report this to the police local to where she lives. If just an isolated incident very unlikely anything will happen but if she does this regular and they have several reports more chance of at least a warning visit.

Pleased to read you have fixed the paint, I would have suggested Chips Away.

If you or a windscreen company can't fix the glass it should only cost your your insurance glass excess and not affect your NCD.

There is no proof that she did the scratch and the time delay in between means it cannot be conclusively linked. However, you have the note and nobody would doubt that she did the damage, so keep a copy of the note in case the police wish to retain the original and report her.

Thanks,

So if I was just to report it anyway with the note, it will go on file if it's done again, then they will have a repeated incident and a reason to investigate?

Im all for the vigilante approach, we had a drink driver round here that over a period of a few years damaged my wifes car twice, then damaged her van a few years later and also a neighbours Clio... all major panel replacements. Lastly he wrote off an older Clio so enough was enough and I made some alterations to his cars tyres that prevented him from driving.

Eventually, I witnessed him drink driving and called the police who said they could only arrest him if he was behind the wheel so I told them to come round. He arrived home and my wife and I stopped him from getting out of his car, he was not amused but got a 2 year ban for that! Thankfully, the ****** is dead now, so karmas good but you need to get your frustrations out too.

wow, so he repeatedly drunk drove and kept screwing people over!!! what a prat.... well if he's dropped dead because of his drinking and driving into a tree its his own stupid fault....

My brother's Audi A5 got a large dent put in the drivers door about 2 weeks ago - looks like somebody kicked in the side of the door. £400 to repair.

The day after he fixed it, they did it again. He hasn't bothered repairing it, and then yesterday somebody keyed his windscreen.

It's sad you that people get so jealous of nice cars that they feel they have to destroy them.

My neighbour frequently opens his red vans door onto my car (dark blue Fabia2), so the pint where I've got several slight red lines on it.

I've tried talking to him about it nicely and I keep happening, sigh.

As for the police, they won't take petty crime to curt unless the prosecutor is certain of a conviction, otherwise it's not worth it. Not their fault, just a rubbish system they have to work in.

if i knew who had keyed my car and i knew where they lived i would go round theirs in the middle of the night and return the gesture only i would have to make sure the damage was at least double mine just to justify the effort.

I think the level of abuse in the note left on your car is justification enough for a tit for tat reprisal.They wont know its you if they don't see you and i expect you are not the only one to get this kind of abuse off them.

I once had an ear bending for parking in front of someone's drive way on xmas day even though they don't own a car and know one ever uses their drive way but at least they didn't swear or key my car.

Vandalism boils my blood especially as the damage caused round here is by the job shy dole dosser's,they should be washing my car for me as i pay for their idle life style.

Arrrgh!!! as if I only found out today that before xmas someone had an issue with me parking infront of their house, while I was visiting next door!

The bitter woman kindly left a note saying F'in T'$$er, why dont you f'in park somewhere else and F off!!!

For a start I have never seen such language, I just though ok...fair enough I'll move, had a quick look around the car, but as it was raining I didn't notice anything....so 5 weeks later, I washed the car yesterday to find a key mark on each door, and my rear passenger window!!! now I knew that note had something else to it, because it was really aggressive!

so I've managed to find something to touch up the key marks, luckily I have filled them in and you can't notice it but I'm waiting in between each rain shower to go and do it!!!

but what am I going to do about the glass!?! at first I thought it was a spiders web, but when I took a closer look it was a scratch, and thats when I noticed the rest...

:wonder:

I don't understand why people can be so nasty over something so little. it wasn't even a permit only, or a disabled space....I've only had the car for a couple of months!

:(

Leave a kind note on the womans windscreen saying sorry for parking there i was unawear i was blocking your entrance/exit but the hidden camera on the security device fitted to my car has recorded someone leaving your property and then causing criminal damage to my vehicle i just wanted to take the time to write you a note to let you know the police will be dealing with this matter unless your willing to pay for the damage to my vehicle

Thank you come again

If you report it, it has to be recorded. The note is threatening and abusive and in itself may be an offence, albeit not one that is likely to be acted upon in isolation. If she has done it to you, how many more times has she/will she do this? There may already be complaints recorded against her but so far not enough to trigger action. You'll be either starting the ball rolling or adding to the existing evidence.

Plus "warning CCTV recording" signs must be clearly displayed as well to certain size
