    Hi Lads,

    Was staying over night in the <snip> and was parked in there underground car park. Went to check out this morning and got this little surprise. I really think the box of choccies was a nice touch though, sort of makes up for the 3 grand repair bill.

    Happy xmas

    Is the hotel responsible?

    What has the hotel got to say? I assume the usual "parked at owners risk etc....)

    Sorry to see that man esp at this time of year- can you get it fixed before Christmas?

    Surely there's cameras around? Also i'd keep that choco box. First of all, there could be chocolates in it, secondly, good chance of finger prints. Scummers aren't really the smartest bunch.

    f%^k, is that for real? thats sucks big time. someone actually cut a hole in your convertible and left chocolates. thats a new one on me. ive never heard of anything like that before. what did the Raddisson have to say? CCTV or anything? i assume its 'cars parked at owners risk' too. thats rough.

    Sorry to see that man. Maybe your insurance policy might cover the incident as an attempted theft if you can prove they tried to steal the car?

    Thanks Guys all for real. Guards came and took the box for prints and they are looking at CCTV but I dont hold any hope to be honest.

    I to am wondering if the raddisson are any way responsible, can anybody tell me?

    Oh and insurance is not worth going through as no claims bonus would be lost.

    even for theft? I thought most of them only hit you when you claimed due to an accident.

    It might be worth checking out insurance nevertheless. I recently claimed for theft and lost my NCB, however a different insurer offered to recognise my NCB as they sensibly didn't see a theft claim as an indicator that I was a higher risk driver.

    Edit: Darando beat me to it

    Seems to me as it was personal, as the chocs have a strong sense of premediation. Who's legs have u been pissing on lately?

    Was on to the insurance company and they basically told me not to bother as the claims will be lost. They must have taken a blade to the car and sliced her open.

    I forgot to mention my mates SL350 was beside me and they smashed one of his windows for fun as well

    Thats **** man, sorry to hear that. It does look premeditated. Is the car park a pay car park? IIRC, theres some responsibility of a carpark owner, that if you pay, they are responsible for the security and safety of all occupants (inclduing cars)

    It was not premeditated they robbed the chocs from another car in the carpark and left them on me and my mates cars just to piss us off. Oh and it is a pay car park owned by the hotel

    Here is a pic of the temp repair job I did. New roof arrives in BMW Ireland on the 27th but they can not fit it. Has to go to a specialist and he can do the car on the 8th Jan, just my look.

    The cut they did was very "professional". Usually people would just slice it, as oppose to to what they did. Its kind of bizarre. Is the car park maintained by the hotel or is it an independant do you know (parkrite)

    Car park is operated by the hotel as far as I know. Would that make a difference in my case

    It can. If it was a 3rd party they could say that the hotel are responsible for people who enter/exit it, whilst the hotel could say the same. Hopefully if its run by the hotel (more than likely) it will save alot of hassle and run arounds. Have you spoken to the hotel about it yet? Also, the fact you were staying overnight, helps your cause alot.

    That's bloody awful - whats the point of insurance if it's not worth your while to claim this...

    For all those anti suv brigade on the other thread, here is another classic example of begrudgery. It's not just suv's that get hit. If someone has what i can't have, lets wreck it for em, is their way of thinking...

    I lost my NCB with Quinn Direct when I claimed for theft, cancelled the policy when the claim was settled and moved to Axa who recognised my NCB. I'm not saying it'll definitely work for you but its worth a shot. It took a lot of pissing around with letters and phonecalls in my case but I saved a lot of money.

    This happens a lot to ****ty cars too you know... Kicked in panels, snapped off wing mirrors, smashed windows, roofs danced on etc.

    Siimilar thing happened me years ago, theres no more sickening feeling. Insurance said that they'd allow a small claim on the grounds of vandalism. Got a the job done by Nolan Autocare and submitted a letter to say that it had been carried out and the insurance company paid up. It all worked out well in the end as the roof was starting to look a bit rough. i was insured with PMPA (now axa)

    May those bast##rds rot in hell who ever they are.

    Slashing the hood of a BMW convertable may well be an example of begrudgery, a dislike of SUVs is not. Commiserations to the OP. Were any valuables on view? Was anything taken?
