We dont live in a bad area really but the guy over the road from us has a Monaro so has a pretty epic CCTV system going on.

Luckily I park my car outside his house and it covers my car too. My own security system...:)

Unless the CCTV has self activating machine guns what's the benefit of having it? You wake up in the morning, find out your tyres have been slashed and think you;ve got them on CCTV, WAHEY!! No doubt they'll be wearing hoody and all that jazz. No way of finding out who did it.
 
Have a word with your neighbours, get teams together and take it in turns to stay up at night.

Drastic, yes.

Worth it, I'd say so.

Actually, an electric fence would do the job nicely.

When my dad worked at a garage in Kendal a farmer's landy came in for a set of plugs and a service. There was a leccy fence in the back, so they hooked it up and set the apprentice to work on the service. The dozy plank actually finished the service getting shocked every few seconds.

Don't you have to disconnect the battery for this to work?

Nope, just hook the fence up to a conductive part of the chassis, and connect the ground to the floor, or some pipework.

The tyres are a perfect insulator, makes the apprentice the easiest route to complete the circuit.

tis true Olly although we did get the insurance on the LCR down to 590 a year FC for me and wifey :) not bad for the east end of Glasgow i guess, unfortunately the cars are all parked on road (apart from the octavias which tend to be out working unless they've weent bang.

according to some report in one of the tabloids last year I live in the most deprived area in scotland :)

I tend to find this help's!!
One tip though, make sure their at the other side of the car when you squeeze the trigger. It leaves an awful mess!!
 
Maybe leave £10 sellotaped to one of your tyres and write a message saying "i'll leave a £10 note every week as long as you don't touch my car"

In the mean time be finding out who these little ****s are and give them a frickin' kickin'.

Seriously, you don't think it's worth staying up one night and just watching out of your window? I sure as hell know i would.

What cars have they sprayed so far? They sprayed any of the Scoobys or S3?

EDIT: just looked on black circles - £460 for 4 x T1-R's. I would definately be staying up all night if i knew that it could cost me that much.

how about a sign in your side window saying "smile, you're on camera!"

solves:
a) notifying the little scrotes that they're being filmed, and;
b) possibly a big deterrant

You might not even have to bother with installing a camera...

That would make them want to do it more I think.

Plus it wouldn't be hard to put on a hoody which to be honest is what quite a lot of scum these days wear and pull the draw strings so they cannot be identified.


I don't think there is much you can do mate - sucks. :(
 
Ahh Barlanark. We went a "scheme run" once in my car, that was funny.

I'd be tempted to buy a gun and stake them out.

They'll keep going till they're caught/stopped/shot
 
This never used to be an issue damaging cars...happy slapping never was an issue. Both in my mind multiplied a thousand fold once they put this on the tV and if you like sold the idea to the chav's. Do they do this on purpose..
 
wee update :)

alls well that ends well, there was a stabbing in our street last night approx 2am, victim was found in a pool of blood on the pavement and carted off to hospital.

Turns out little scrote was caught in the act by a very angry resident who stabbed him 3 times with his own knife :) god i love irony, going out stabbing and ending up stabbed.

hopefully now we wont be suffering any more vandalism related incidents for a while.

Funnily enough no one heard or seen anything
 
Hahahaha aw my god thats qaulity!

My uncle had his tyres slashed in a whole street attack. Comely bank around here is pretty long and the full street was done. As was my mates mums wing mirror kicked off twice!

Barlanock....rather you than ma mate! Isn't the nic near there?
 
yes tis indeed brilliant, but i expect this to escalate to all out war between local drug dealer and the local neds. either way its a win win situation who ever ends up dieing :)
