we are going to start keeping a record now, just waiting for the CCTV to be delivered, its the wifi ones so I can take it home once we leave this place.

If anything else happens now I will be calling 101 and see what they say. I just can't see where people get off damaging other peoples property. If they got problems they should have knocked on my door instead of causing £100s worth of damage. We have tried to be considerate as much as we can, I could understand if we weren't and it happened but we have taken every step to minimise any hassle for them.

It could be worse OP....my eldest sister used to live in London, and her next door neighbour hated anyone parking outside her house. My mum parked there overnight once, and got up in the morning to find a human-sized poo on her car bonnet.

Couldn't you keep three of your cars at your being renovated house, and just keep the worst one at the rental property?

The other option is to wait until you leave and then go back and damage one of theirs (only kidding )

What's a "mic" and how do you take it "out of"?
If it's what I think it is, I'm not alone in taking it out of.

we have kept two of the cars yesterday away from the rental property for the last three days

So even with two cars, one of the driveway and one on the road it happened again

whoever has been vandalising the cars came two days and pulled the windscreen wiper away from the windscreen from the car in the driveway. The tyre on that car also has a slow puncture which means I need to get the tyre repaired or replaced

As much as i'm annoyed about whats happening I don't think I could damage someone else's car.

Thats absolutely disgusting, some people have no shame

Mum thought it was hilarious, she had visions of someone carefully balancing on her car bonnet at midnight while curling one out!

Hi

Sorry to learn of your experiences its down to envy, a feeling of discontented or resentful longing aroused by someone else's possessions a typical British attitude which I detest and left the simple minded idiots 20 years
Tell the police

What normal adult makes these replies especially if it were her car
Very. very ,Sad

As much as it is annoying to have several cars belonging to one property parked on the road - that doesn't entitled someone to cause damage to them, which sounds as though it's going to result in thousands of pounds from this thread. You have my sympathy OP.

I would at least notify the police and let them know what's going on, even with you getting CCTV. When you've got your CCTV up and running, hopefully you can catch the culprit. Horrible situation and I'm sorry it's happening to you.

No one owns the road - this applies to both the OP and people damaging their car. If you want a designated parking space, buy/rent a property with one. Otherwise you should fully expect cars not belonging to you being parked on the road outside your property. It pisses me off when people think they own the road outside their property - unless there is a dropped kerb there, or a parked car would cause an obstruction, people can park there as much as they like!

I hope no more damage is caused to your cars.

I'm wary of bringing up the "R" word , but it might be relevant .( donning my hard hat)
Are you a different race/ethnicity to these neighbours ? If so then the police will undoubtedly take it all far more seriously .

Yes, all my neighbours are white and we are Indian, the area however is mixed. I doubt it's due to race but it is a possibility. As I said my mum did hear them say something about four cars, so
I assume they are just annoyed even though it's not inconviencing them at all. If it is due to race it could be simply they just don't like different coloured people being successful i.e. Living in there area.

Once the police are given proof if it happens again, I guess the police can ask them why

If it was a race issue then surely others in your street would have had similar or ongoing issues as the OP.

Or are you simply implying that the OP report it as a race crime in order to try and get the police to take it more seriously?

Bib . I most certainly am not implying he use the race card . That's a tiresome fall back excuse more often than not .
However, as the OP has said his neighbours in his street are of a different colour/race then it needs to be considered that racism is possibly part of the issue .

I thought it was funny, too! I also wondered if they did the poo on the car, or pooed elsewhere and put it on the car afterwards.

Pretty sure that most streets have someone of different colour/race living in them these days, doesn't mean we should all shout racist everytime something bad happens. It's because of people thinking like that brexit happened, Donald Trump made president and why UKIP are gaining so many supporters!

Say nothing, put up some camera's and catch the low life scum in action and have them prosecuted.

Thats the idea Cameras are up today

Many years ago had some kind soul empty their Chinese takeaway over my windscreen. No idea why. I was parked on a very ordinary high street.

The sweet and sour sauce made its way past the wipers into the little grill below them.

I cleaned that car to within an inch of its life but I could not get rid of the smell. Every time I switched the fan/heater on I could smell the sweet and sour sauce through the vents. God knows where it ended up after it disappeared down that grill. Must have found its way into the heater matrix or something.

Until the day I got rid of it - it still ponged!


...........................

Hope you get your problem sorted with the help of cameras OP.

"what are you?.. Some kind of Domesday machine....."

Whilst I know how this feels, having had my own car vandalised on numerous occasions, I do rather get the feeling that it is your families actions that have led to this happening.

Are you parking all 3 of the cars outside of the house you are living in now? Taking up parking spaces that were previously used by your neighbours? Could that be a reason?
Perhaps try parking the cars further away from your property.

We are currently have a problem with 1 of our neighbours having 3 cars, meaning there is 1 more car than parking spaces available, they are far from thoughtful and instead of parking one of their cars behind another, they will take up leading one of us having to park elsewhere.

Depending on how far away the cars are away from the Cameras, the footage may be next to useless. If the cars are a distance away the image will just not be clear enough to make out who the person is.

Even if you do get a clear shot of who it is, that is not enough to guarantee any actions is taken, as I know to my own expense.

It is not unreasonable to want to be able to park outside of your own home, and in most places it is achievable unless people have excessive number of cars and just park them wherever without consideration for everyone else.

There are a few new build housing estates being constructed where I live that you can tell are going to have parking issues, it beggars belief that in 2016 something as basic as providing adequate parking is not thought about.

There is more then enough space for everyone to park the cars on the road, as stated amonoy two other neighbours park their cars on the road everyone else's is in the drive

Very cunning advertising ploy by the local Golden Dragon takeaway - cheaper than leaflet drops. 🙏😄
