You're more than welcome. just be thankful you don't own a bedford rascal as I did a few years back. Most saturday mornings I awoke to find it on its side or upside down!

Also my manky old 106 got used as a handy park-bench on many nights by the local drug-dealer's little chums (before Her Majesty kindly decided to give him bed and board for the forseeable ) They'd sit on the bonnet, smoking dope and talking even dopier until one night:

This was most amusing as in 4 years ownership I washed the car a whole 3 times- the second time was because there were three perfect 'moon prints' in the grime on the bonnet- indeed, it was only the white tracksuit clad gimps squeels of rage at his now rather-less-than-white trousers which alerted me to what had transpired....And all of a sudden, my car wasn't the local bench.

Though, 2 years ago, I too had a line of size 7ish trainer prints/dents across the roof and bonnet- And I'm only glad they didn't go through the blessed windscreen.

When I lived in another part of the country I had the same thing happen in the late 1980s to my almost new Vauxhall but the alarm was activated and he was seen and identified by one of my three sons (who were then in their late teens) a couple of days later the offender was seen walking home from work and offered a lift home by my sons who then said we'll drop in to Mums place for a cupper, came in and door locked behind him!! he was then sat down with his promised cupper and was given the opportunity to make good the dented roof on the Vauxhall or move to another town..Repaires were made at his expense and not a finger laid on him ..so they will listen to reason if you are nice to them..
Names & location witheld to protect the innocent..
Cheers

But riddle me this... Were his chosen undergarments of that day the same colour on leaving as on entry?

the NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD- was at it round here last year . a group of student got out of thier tiny heads in the pub up the road . they smashed 14 cars with one of them hammers they used to test your reflex`s,and ran up and along the car ... their luck run pout when they did the same to some cars a round the corner ,they was seen and caught by a guy who had his door mirror kicked of and the car hit a dozen times with the hammer ... well after the car owner finished with him he had more dents on his head than the car , the guy also went up the pub and they was all on the pubs cctv .. needless to say the police was called in ,they got fined and orded to pay £80 per car .its something i suppose .needless to say there are camera down my road that are now used all the time

i know how you feel charlie. i bought a spanking almost like new t reg rover 214 3yrs ago, on just the 13th day of owning her i nearly cried.

yes it had been disco night for the local brainless b******s, the roof was that concave it had popped out the interior light from the roof lining.

yes come the revolution, a wall and a machine gun P-L-E-A-S-E- .

I will tell you what is wrong with these "cretins". They were probably "dragged" up by some other "cretin", who's attitude to life is:- the probability of getting caught is nil, so i can do what i like. What should be happening is cttv camera's should be put on every road in the country where things like this are reported.
Dont want to say anymore.
