Chav Scum #2

[Damini]

My tire has just been stabbed for the third time. More infuriatingly/upsettingly, it happened just under TWO HOURS after I had to fork out £45 to replace another tire. I reckon they waited until I got it fixed before doing another one, which just makes me want to scream. First time it happened, I was annoyed but these things happen. Second time I was livid. Third time I must admit I cried a little, and I've got in touch with the police. I know they won't do sweet F A but I feel like if I don't do anything I'm just lying back and letting whoevers doing this shit on me.

I can't afford to get this tire replaced, especially if they are just going to do another one. It's the same people doing it each time, as it leaves exactly the same mark and it's done in a similar place (i.e. where you can't just fix it, you have to buy a new tire). There's no animosity between anyone in the street, I've certainly not done anything to piss anyone off, and so if I am being singled out for this stuff I have no idea why.

What the hell to do?

Move the bottle you use to line up parking with?





sorry, couldn't resist. It is sad though, worse is things like the new phone numbers for the police for non-important things. What the hell would you ever call that for?

Inflate your tyres with chlorine next time.

 

[Damini]

I know, I felt like asking the guy in kwikfit to inflate the new tire with a deadly nerve agent, and then whoever's twitching on the pavement spasmodically clutching a screwdriver will incriminate themselves.

 

[Ivan]

Stake out !

 

[Tom]

Park your car in another street for a few weeks.

 

[Sissyfoo]

Fill the tire with C4 and then when the bugger sticks his screwdriver into it ... ~ka-BLAMMO~

You *may* lose the car...as well as most of your neighbourhood...but you will be free of the annoying little butthole who has been persecuting you!

That really sucks, and I know how you feel. I don't know what to do with regards to stopping it happening but try to not take it so personally (I don't mean that in as shit a way as it sounds). Basically, I know how much this sort of thing can bring you down, drive you insane at the fact that there's not a damn thing you can do about it. Try and tune out of it a bit, take a step back and try and see it as a pain in the arse instead of anything else.

It's bloody difficult to do, but when you want to go round murdering the fucks that did it, but you can do nothing about it that rage just goes no where and you end up feeling fucking shit.

Ok, bit of a yoda post there, probably talking out of my arse but I hope some of it makes sense :\

 

[Doomy]

Get kenny to sleep in the car with a baseball bat till it happens again.

You know, that is the single most tempting idea i've heard for ages.

Not counting the trouble you will get from it but filling them with cyanide gas would be fun.

 

[Damini]

If I could afford to be, I'd be zen about it. £90's worth of damage in a day for two wheels is just ridiculous though. I was begrudgingly calm about the first because shit happens, I was angry about the second, but the third was the reason I'm really upset. I can't afford to throw £45 away for a new wheel everytime someone fancies stabbing mine. I doubt there's a personal vendetta, I think it's just probably "funny" doing the same car over and over, but if there is an alterior reason I'd be at a loss to what it was anyway.

I might try moving it to another street until I can get a garage sorted out, like Tom suggested.

Point 1: That sucks and i really feel sorry for you, you CAN accept it about once but 3 times is just plain cruel.

Point 2: Solution is easy, first reinforce your tyre with and fill it full of air pressurised shrapnel. Once its been cut phone the police and ask them to look around the local hospitals for the guy in surgery having bits of metal extracted from his face and other places that shouldnt have metal in. Win!!

Nah them being 'hard' etc will probably go and claim its 'ard to have these new types of piercings in their face.

I reckon your 'Chav Car Attack Cam' on your website may still be the best way of finding out who's doing it. You can use that CoffeeCup software to set it up as a security Cam, that only starts recording/taking snapshots when movement is detected.

 

[Jupitus]

I guess your excess on insurance means it's not worthwhile claiming?

 

[~Yuckfou~]

Set up a video camera.
Covertly to catch them.
Overtly to prevent it happening.

I would use the hide and wait with a baseball bat method.

 

[Mofo8]

There is hope:

Wouldn't be worth claiming at all. Insurance is really just an elaborate way of making sure you can get robbed three times - once by the **** that decides to do over your car, once again on the excess, and once again by losing your no claims.

The woman opposite my house has popped over to show solidarity - turns out she had a brick thrown through her window within the past week or so, and she's quite old and her husband has got parkinsons, so I'm not in the worst situation at all. It's just very disheartening that this kind of thing can go on. Since living here I've had still burning joint butts thrown through my window (which luckily landed on the bathroom floor rather than carpet, and stank so nastily I found them quickly - cheap crap for cheap chavs I suppose), had my car keyed several times, had that whole period with the demonic children throwing water bombs through my windows, had the chav convention on my doorstep, and now this.

I want them all to catch syphilis. And not this namby pamby modern version either, I want the whole disfiguration, welts and elephant man impressions done by the genetalia shennanigans.

On my way home I heard on Radio 1 about something like this. Some Motorcyclist went round slashing random peoples tires. He got though a few thousand causing £250,000 of damage.

Oh fs 2nd page , didnt see someone already mentioned it

 

[Sissyfoo]

Out of curiosity, where do you live? I want to avoid that place like office socials.

 

[]AC[dRuM]

Your choices are simple, wait for them one night and give them the beating of their lives but risk either a backlash or worse prison.

or...

As suggested the cam corder thang, which seems a sensible option eh

Are you sure it isn't a disgruntled ex partner or something (being serious) Or someone you know or once knew?

 

[Damini]

Hah, Mr Drum, you do know that I'm a girl, right? And the concept of me flailing fists on a gang of boys is incredibly laughable In my dreams, it's such a tempting prospect, but it's never going to happen in reality (mores the pity).

I've heard from other neighbours now (I sent out a letter asking neighbours to keep an eye on my car) and found out it's happened to other people too, but they just thought it was them. The women up the road has replaced SIX tires. We're going to form some kind of militant angry neighbours association.

I've started a revolution! Bring forth the flaming pitchforks! Put the kettle on! The women of the neighbourhood are annoyed!

P.S. Sissy - it's Canterbury.

 

[]AC[dRuM]

Yeah I knew you walked on the 'fem' side

Canterbury I know very well and it hasn't struck me as a 'rough' area although everywhere has it places eh.

The ex partner bit is a serious thought, it just seems strange that it happened twice Not that your going too but don't take option a) as a serious one..

Best of luck anyway.

PS : maybe your should hire the A Team ? (The CT underground)

 

[Fluffy Kitten]

I'd suggest a stakeout of angry villagers armed with paintball guns... they're unlikely to be armed with a ranged weapon when you jump them, and a decent hit can not only ruin clothing, but break the skin.

Win !

Complain to the local police station & council on a weekly basis in writing. The most effective way to get something done that will benifit you is to annoy the fuck out of someone else till they do something

 

[Damini]

Canterbury as a rule is fine, it's just the chavvy sods in the outskirts that strut around neighbourhoods just vandalising everything. I've never had so much damage done to my different cars or my parent's cars in 20 years of living in Bognor as has happened in four years of living in different areas in canterbury. I think they just do it around here because they can, and get away with it.

My street itself is lovely, and if it was blocked off from the estate up the top than we'd have no problems at all.

spot on

 

[Tom]

Its a long shot, but if you got enough of your neighbours around to the idea, get your local counciller involved, and doorstep the local chief constable. A few weeks of the odd police car driving around the area would make them think twice, although it might not be a permanent solution.

Its most likely the same 4-5 people who are causing all this grief in your area.

Try doing a mail shot (hand delivered) of 200-300 houses around your home. Organise a meeting. If you can show the police that enough of you are concerned (and the local press, get them involved too, they love that kind of story), then the police will act.

 

[EvilMonkeh]

My street used to be quiet.
that is until the new bloke moved in.
He/His wife seems to have problems with His/Her Ex Husband/Wife.
We have recieved letters through the post annonymously to the effect "your neighbour is a drug baron". someone has graffitied their car, and thrown petrol bombs at them.

Not good:/

Although this isnt chavs (more middle age bloke with vendetta), im lucky to live in somewhere that doesnt have many probs :/ i just hope the petrol bombings stop...

Nasty pieces of work :touch:
