[Dishevelled Den]

Welcome to modern-day Britain Robbo

[robbo299]

Thanx Zulu. You never understand why people complain about certain things sometimes until the harsh reality of todays Britain smacks you in the face. You hear of things and you tend to think "that can`t be right" and no it isn`t, but in the eyes of the law in todays Britain, it is.  Def a wake up call.

Just put the paint up - they ain't going to complain

[PhilRich]

Hi Robbo, commiserations mate, but you just can't win with that sort of rubbish, the law is always on their side   my mum in law had trouble with scumbags from the local care home climbing into her garden and I went down the anti vandal paint route, fitted the signs etc and six months later the paint is dry! Its a very well known brand too and not bloody cheap but the manufacturer doesn't want to know, other than for me to remove a sample of the 'affected' area and send it to them for testing, so I couldn't recommend it to anyone. My solution would be to have a fainting attack as you are driving near the scumbags and 'lose' control of the car! (only kidding) .......(I think)

I have seen some success with carpet gripper strips nailed to the inside top of a wall.   Sharp wee points, them nails.....   

[robbo299]

Went down that route a few years ago H21 when i had some young pikeys in my garden late one night. Apparently a family of pikeys moved into a rented house nearby and were using it as a "business addy". Rang police to report trespassers in my garden and when i mentioned the magic word pikey was told nothing they could do unless anything was damaged or stolen. I decided to nail some carpet gripper on the top of my high side gate. Local bobby came past next day and told me he had read the report of what had happened and when he saw what i was doing advised me strongly to remove it. He said i could be liable of prosecution if anyone was injured climbing over.

Something is going wrong somewhere.....

Very true...

Eventually someone is going to snap and we will see a massacre of yobs, which would not have happened if the Police had done something before.

[markr]

hi there, sorry you are having trouble with the yob culture, its the laws that are to blame, they feel that they are untouchable, all the measures you take would come to nothing, you either get in trouble yourself for an aggresive approach, or they end up laughing at you when you take the legal ones, the law should be, you are not protected by any laws if you are breaking them, that would deter a lot of yobs! :question

[redelitev6]

Surely as the police are going to "step up patrols" your problems are over?

[pscocoa]

I have just come back from Singapore - those yobs would have no chance out there - drop litter - you are in a litter clearance gang, they have no chewing gum on floor, clean , everything works but quite an authoritarian system. Streets totally safe.

Maybe they have gone too far one way and we have gone too far the other where our police have no powers, no motivation and no leeway to deal with these issues positively.

For ordinary decent people Singapore is great - for thugs and drug traffickers - expect the worst. Singapore landing card says "Death to drug traffickers".

There is a balance to be had - I think you will have to install CCTV to get the evidence.

Just presuming for a moment that the little Darlings didnt smash the glass, it may be possible that the glass was stressed or has suffered some stress since being bonded to a distorted tailgate and may have shattered on its own accord, especially as the holed area of the glass looks very close to the original accident damage. Was there anything inside like a brick or whatever to indicate that it was smashed? Just a thought...

[robbo299]

Interesting theory Bent Valve. Did ask the Autoglass technician about that when i had previous glass fitted a few weeks ago. He did check carefully and we did straighten a small slightly creased section where the glass sits, and between us made a pretty damm good job of it too. The previous glass did seat pretty damm perfect around all the frame. No brick or any other object found inside car but as previous post said, little darlings were sitting outside the hostel watching myself and my daughter taping a plastic bag over hole and having a good laugh amongst themselves. Luckily i managed to get a replacement fitted the same afternoon.
