So we all heard of the mindless violence towards vehicles like "scrotums" keying paintwork, throwing things on vehicles and so on but I am quite honestly a little bit speechless at this.
To give you a context, taken the car for an MOT today only to have the mechanic call us and send us these photos (excuse the quality but he texted them). Apparently he has seen similar before, basically people place food items under the car bonnet which then causes rodents to get under where they do all sorts of damage like chewing through wires and hoses.
As you can see a good handful of cooked spaghetti has been placed under the car near a radiator, then clearly something rat like got under and what you see in the first pic is the lining under the bonnet that it chewed off. Some damage to other plastic trim under the hood as well but fingers crossed all electrical connections and hoses seem to be in good order, albeit he'll have a thorough look tomorrow.
Feels pretty damn targeted as we have also had the roof of our second vehicle damaged last night and a taxi roof sign stolen from it on Sunday but honestly can't figure out why someone would deliberately target us. Absolutely no problems with any neighbours, only thing we can think of is that it's a small-ish resident only car park (places are not designated and no permits required) and someone may have gotten upset that the car was parked there for a while as it's only used on the weekends.
Then again there is more than ample parking literally just outside the fence so it's a 10 second inconvenience at most and why we made a point of parking the second car out there too so we're not hogging the limited parking inside.
P.S. I don't remember insulting any local Italian mafia members either.
