Someone who lives near you has obviously got it in for your family! Has anyone had a argument with anyone in your house hold recently?

I know what I was like at 18, have you been banging anyone's Mrs?  :smiley:

Been looking out but nothing yet.

Gonna try set up a camera somehow.

Just had a look looks like a BMW has been keyed. Not sure if it's the same time but could well be.

Found the Micra arm, all twisted and someones been smacking it on the floor and bending it all.

Where all my moneys went.

Just wait till you see them doing it, then rob all the badges of their clothing. A badge for a badge aha, something like that anyway.

My parents car had the wing mirror snapped off twice, but each time it drunken idiots who happened to use our road as their route home from the pub on a saturday night.
Are you on a quiet road, is it a through road, a busy road ?
Are school/college kids walking home that way?
Could it just be because it's an easy target in the evening? Perhaps because they did it once and got away with it, they thought that since it was "so funny" they'd do it again?

How long has it been going on ?
If it's just random drunks having "fun" then it'll stop when they get bored. If it is a personal thing, then it may carry on for a while.

It might also be just because some neighbour is annoyed at the number of cars you have.
My mother in law had a run-in with her neighbour because they couldn't park their car and my in-laws have 3 cars between them, while some other neighbours have 5 cars. So 8 cars from 2 houses, leaving no space for a neighbour with 1 car.
I think that's an acceptable reason to be annoyed, but it's not grounds for anything more.

i think dub fan is right about the number of cars issue. we often have 5 cars at my house so i do my best to keep them on the drive and only outside my house - little things like parking a ratty mk3 outside the front room window of your retired posh couple neighbours doesnt go down too well!

you say you are parking in bays - are they allocated to you or is it first come first served?

Sit in a bush for a few hours when it usually happens one night with a baseball bat (and ball of course) and wait till they come and do it?

I'v done that before  :lipsrsealed:

What you should do, is kidnap them with some mates, tie them into a chair and and all of your whack one off into their faces and post it on youtube. I reckon that'll put them off pissing you off for life.
80% of your posts are total tripe, as they are mostly replies to sh1te posts created by the morons that, unfortunately this forum attracts.

If both parties enjoy it, then yes. Otherwise it's a f**king good way of scaring someone for life.

Feel for you mate, was thinking would a dummy CCTV camera on your house or on a lamp post deter them?

Like this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DUMMY-FAKE-OUTDOOR-CCTV-SECRITY-CAMERA-LED-LIGHT-/300602812261?pt=UK_CCTV&hash=item45fd52e765

Hope this helps mate, good luck with it  :smiley:
