Just gone out to the car and found my car mirror pushed back which has happened probably a dozen times in the last month. Look over at wifes car and bloody bastards had ripped it off breaking the plastic where it is attached to the door. I'm pretty sure it would be kids doing it and they probably laughed their ass off when they did it.
Being a hyundai, i.e. cheap but obscure make, the price of bloody parts is quite high. Phoned a friend in the know and he said don't bother with a new one, it will cost a fortune. Tryed ebay and it is still around £25 + £10 postage for a scrapper.
I have a double garage as well but choose to park on the road as it allows more room for a workshop and part use for the business (until I build a summerhouse/ office in the garden).
If I was to catch them do it and take them from behind with a baseball bat I suppose it would be me who ends up with the criminal record so they carry on with the mindless vandalism safe in the knowledge that no one would even bother to approach them for fear of their own safety or fear of being criminalised.
They should be made to pay for the damage and if they can't pay I could find them some jobs to do like paint my fence, cut my grass or something similar to recompense.
