Livid, (Another damaged GTI thread!!!)
« on: September 04, 2010, 09:23:06 am »
Morning all.
Well, it had to happen to me sooner or later, living in a pretty scummy area of Wolverhampton and having a fairly nice car.
Woken at 3.30 this morning to the sound of a car alarm, thought it may be a neighbour so leapt out of bed, only to look down onto my drive and see 2 chav looking lads about 18 next to my car with its headlights flashing on and off, and the alarm sounding.
IN a tired panick I just smacked the bedroom window, causing them to run off down the street.
On going outside to check the car was all right there are footprints on the bonnet and the w@nkers have put the boot into it causing it to completely smash but not shatter. So a new windscreen for me.
Phoned the station I work from, and probably less than 10 minutes later (which I was very pleased with for a Friday night/Saturday morning shift) a panda car arrived, gave the basic description, and they went and looked for them,but obviously no joy as there are a million and one places they can hide away from the roads.

So now goes the task of finding out how I am going to get this fixed, calling insurance in a bit, don't have protected no claims as never thought mine would be done like that (typical thinking, I know) Haven't got a clue what costs are involved here.

Really is gutting on so many levels. I was going to clean it this morning and take it to the Pod for the show, and more so because these kids didn't do it to get into the car, as you would not try to get in through the windscreen, I don't really know why they did it, the PC said that they may have seen me leaving the station as its only about 3 miles away, though I do doubt that is the case. I believe it is just jealousy, as they could only afford a 96 Metro, lets damage someone elses car that is their pride and joy, and that I work hard to pay for.

Sorry if this is a bit long winded, I wish that I hadn't knocked the window, and had stuck my trainers on and run out, but you always have the what ifs, I didn't realise they had damaged the car, so just wanted them away from my car!  :sad1:

Nope, live in a small 2 bed semi, so just enough room on the drive for 2 cars.

Gutted for you mate they are scumballs!!

I am from wolves to, always make sure mines in the garage every night. Whereabouts you from?

What do people feel the need to do these things? Can understand them stealing for profit in a way but just smashing someone elses hard earned up for fun?

W***ers!!  :fighting: :fighting: :fighting:

Feel gutted for you. This is why I made sure every place I lived in had a garage big enough for the GTI. You just can't trust anyone.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

That's sh|t news Al, sorry to hear bud  :fighting:

Absolute scum. Although, they're not wise criminals picking on a fed! Justice & revenge might just catch up with them a little quicker, here's hoping...  :congrats:

Even more annoying, speaking to a few of the neighbours this morning. They said the 2 lads ran off down the road, and then one came back and ducked behind the fence at the end of my drive for a few seconds before running back to his mate and they walked off.

Makes me so mad that I was on the phone to the station rather than sprinting out there, but as I didn't know they had actually damaged my car at that point then I did it that way.
Phoned work and am on a half night shift tonight, lo and behold if any car crime goes on in my area!!!

I think I would rather have it stolen than to have to look at it sat on my drive damaged. Well and truely f**ks me off hearing stuff like this. No need at all.


The things we have to do to protect our stuff these days is out of order. I guess a garage is the best bet if you own a nice car. Sometimes its better to drive a 1.1 shed as you dont give a f**k about it.
