Bonfire Blues

Post by d3k4y0 »

Some [insert string of expletives here] have attacked my car outside the church hall where we run a kid's group every friday.
They'd built a small fire o the tennis courts (which we wouldnt have minded) and as the night went on decided to throw lit wood at the windows (toughened and caged, this has happened before), which we did mind! They rapidly dissapeared as people started leaving the hall towards them.

The Po-po where called (didn't show up) and the fire brigade came and put the bonfire out

My car has evidently suffered from having someone run over the top (footprints) and the rest you can see here

I think if they are caught there won't be a shortage of candidates for the 'Guy' for the bonfire. I really feel for you mate, that's just wrong, a nightmare. Ignorant little ****ers, why do they attack someone elses property? Forget ASBO's and the softly softly approach, the issue needs addressing properly! If you need anything mate, give me a shout. Yet another incident where a 300 has been vandalised.

That's not good at all sm2 I'll bet you never find the scum that did this either, and of course the Police will most likely not be too interested....other things to concentrate resources on.

Sharp pointed sticks spring to mind! (for starters). I cannot fathom the pleasure these pelicans must get - now, damage to the vandals themselves, I see much pleasure in that !!

If you're stuck I have H/L lenses and I'm sure mirrors or glasses somewhere (are they manual or electric ??). I also have h/l wiper arms if needed.

Mac - old man - very grumpy.

Thanks guys!
Been to the scrap yard today and got both headlights (with wiper motors) and the driver's side wing mirror - £25
Went to motorworld and got some of that cut to size replacement glass stuff so I can probably get back on the road.

I may relieve you of that mirror if it's a passnger side one foggy, we'll see how today goes!

Cheers!
