Car keyed: Options?

When you said it happened on your friends street, I immediately thought it would be someone irked by you parking in "their" space.

I bet she doesn't even have car, does she? :mad:

Her husband has a car, but it is safely parked in the garage. :rolleyes:

I am currently waiting for the police and will update as soon as possible.
 
I have been asked to go down the police station tomorrow morning to give a statement and provide a copy of the CCTV footage.
I am not holding out much hope honestly that anything will happen unless she admits to it, which I do not see happening.

I am just very annoyed that this has happened with no provocation. :mad:
 
If it's clear CCTV of her keying your car, then as a minimum you should be expecting a conditional caution whereby the condition is to pay for the repair. Before you go tomorrow, get a few quotes to repair it.

Youtube it for sure, it's the 21st century version of public humiliation. Wait a few days for the comments to get really toxic then take a screencap of the video, make a card from moonpig from it and post it to her with the link inside. I wouldn't insist that she paid twice the cost of repairs before you removed the video as that would be blackmail. I wouldn't do that at all. Nope.

Happily it wouldn't even be blackmail!
 
I presume your friend has the CCTV installed properly and with permission. Last thing you want is to get him in trouble.
 
You can get into trouble if it captures images (and for certain if it records audio) outside the confines of your household (public street, pavement etc)

No you can't, only it breaches someone elses privacy.

If your camera covers, even partially, any areas beyond the boundaries of your property, such as neighbouring gardens or the street, then it will no longer be exempt from the Data Protection Act (DPA) under the domestic purposes exemption. This does not mean that you are breaching the DPA but it does mean that you might need to take some steps to comply with it. https://ico.org.uk/for-the-public/cctv

Very unlikely to get in trouble without someone reporting him but still anything outside the boundary can technically cause him hassle
 
That'd just being pedantic, capturing someone walking down their garden path at the edge of the frame (For example) is hardly branching somebody else's privacy or using CCTV irresponsibily

One of my mates had hassle with a difficult neighbour a few months ago reporting him for his cctv recording her coming and going from the house, it did briefly catch her drive in the recordings but no where near enough to give any hint of monitoring her.

The most likely reason for this? He's had a lot of work done to his house recently which upset her dog...

People can be pathetic with neighbours, as proven by the 60 year old woman keying a visiting car for most likely parking in 'her space' on the road
