car parks

I Hate Car Parks, as Some one hit my car and folded my front wing
in ,nobody saw anything and not a thing on cctv, so i got pay out and
get it done,so beware there is people out there that dont give a shit
if they hit your car,(ibet it was a 4x4 )while i was in the store
shopping.

 

My van was parked outside the house last night and some little **** decided
that he would kick and smash my side mirror and then walk over the top of
the van, this would not have been quite so bad as to the fact that I only
replaced the side mirror 2 weeks ago after some little **** kicked it and
smashed it before.
The next one will now have a line of razor blades glued to it.(inner edge so
no one can accidentally injure themselves by walking into it) At least I can
then follow the bloody trail.
I have now ordered £400 worth of camera equipment to catch this turd. The
police crime investigator has a very nice left and right shoe print. If I
catch them they can have a face print as they bounce off my windscreen.

I would love to catch the person

 

Well the bus park at New Haw had 50+ bus windows broken two nights ago,
£5.5k of damage. By comparison (only) you came off lightly.
But it is true, there is no respect for other's property these days.
I blame Tony Blair. Well someone has to.

 

I think you are correct Brian, not sure its just Tony's fault ( can't
believe I just said that), I think its down to the complete government and
the namby pamby punishments (if any at all) for crimes committed (unless you
happen to be speeding) and the fact that governments like to hide true
figures and the actually cost to the general public for these mindless
crimes. You almost have to grovel to get a crime number from the police
these days, if you don't get a number it stays off the crime figure books .
Oh god I'm upon my soap box mode.

Well, you can rest assured that if the perpetrators of the incident above
are ever caught, they will have a very stern finger waggled at them. That'll
teach them.
In France, parents are liable for their offsprings antics up to the age of
18, and the bill for damage would be given to them.
In this country, the parents are not be held liable except when the child
continually plays truant from school.
Isn't that the wrong way round?

You've got me on the soapbox now.

Crime figures may be down for minor incidents, but I believe this is because
most people can't be bothered to report them any more, as they know nothing
will be done.
I still have the nice key scratch down the side of my car, but that was not
reported.

 

Sounds to me like the French have the right idea again, I wonder how much
that would change things over here if we had the same system.

Hi,

That is theory.
In theory, parents are liable until 18 or until 21 depending on the fault
(for financial problems like bankrupcy (spelling ?) it is 21 for example).

Now, how does it work ?
Your child has made some bad thing. You'll be liable for the side mirror,
OK. If ever caught, of course. For something more important, you child will
be caught to a "child's judge" which only job is to treat such problems
caused by ppl under 18. That is a very stern finger, some fuckin' stupid
speaking like "not a good idea, never do that again" (the answer will be
"yes, sir" (while he has fingers crossed)).
Something we all know is, in France, there are two things : the things you
can cope, and the things you have. Oh, for some demagogy purposes, the
speeding is severly punished. Not the car stealing.

My conclusion would then be (mind you I don't know how justice works in UK)
yeah, perhaps it's a bit better in France. In theory, at least.

Oh, BTW, my passenger's door has took something on a car park. Possibly
another car. No one ever saw anything.

Cheers,

 

You should call 101 if it's set up in your area. http://www.101.gov.uk

Everything that happens around here (just outside Portsmouth, UK) gets
reported and things have actually started happening with regards to extra
police patrols etc.

Well worth using if you've got it.

weybridge/addlestone.
