Car vandalised, what to do??

    Hi guys,

    Just want some feedback and opinions on a problem i have. My girlfriend lives in an area that is mostly council houses, and if i said the exact area would prompt most Dublin people to think KIP. Anyway, she doesn't have a driveway so i when i stay overnight, which is most weekends, i have to park in a common parking area about 60ft from her house, out of sight from her door. For the first year i had no problems, but in the past few months my car has been vandalised on 3 seperate occasions. They are bad scratches, almost dents. Now a couple of times i've seen 2 12yr old looking lads walking away from my car, which is suspicious as its a cul de sac. But without actually catching them in the act what can i do? Now i know its very easy to say kick the **** out of them, and believe me i'd love to, but where would it all end? They could easily come back any other night and smash up my car or hers, and i dont want to bring any hassle to her door. What would you do in my situation?

    Short of sitting up watching and waiting all you can do is find somewhere else to leave the car or take the bus. If you found out who it was you could speak to parents etc but you're kinda stuck.

    Same happened me years ago. Little cnuts got up onto the roof and destroyed the car.

    Don't park that car there any more !! That's the only viable solution I'm afraid.

    Buy a scooter and bring it into the house altogether.

    It's sad when normal people must consider the bus because scumbags will key their car.

    Electrical current flowing across the body panels? Or at least on door handles.

    I'm serious btw
