Grrrr (random car vandalism within)

Fourty minutes ago some **** smashed up my mums car on the drive with a brick....my parents heard a smash and I came downstairs when I heard my dad swearing....

The roof is dented with brick dust in the dents, the door is dented and bent where its been yanked at, and the rear offside passenger window is smashed as well :mad:

I found the brick on the drive...missed my car somehow which was parked just in front of it....

Same thing happened to my sisters car about 3 years ago...

is this related to anything or just pure random violence?

sorry to see that regardless, hope you find the scum.

Generally I think its random vandalism (very very slim possibility of it being related to me

), my area is generally 'okay' - but like I say 3 years ago my sisters 1 week old Pug 107 was given the exact same treatment!

Then a few months ago there was an attempted break in on my car and neighbours (a gang of drunk chavs wandering down the road trying the handles on every car in the street and attempted to screwdriver some...they were chased off by a neighbour with a bit of wood, and then followed by but escaped from the police).

Probably about time you got some CCTV setup.

We are going to look into this!

Not really many gypsies around here, not in the immediate locality anyway....nor any enemies (that I know of or would consider significant!)

Has anyone got any recommendations or experience with CCTV kit? In particular the Swann or Storage Options setups...

I would want a two camera setup as a minimum with a DVR, and an easy way to view footage (either on PC or with an output to a TV setup).

(I am aware OcUK sells CCTV so do not want anyone to link to a competitor.....but it seems the Swann and Storage Options kits are the most often common 'entry level' kit between £200 and £300 for a system).
