Joe on Stuart Road Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 Dear NeighbourSomeone has damaged our car by running a key, screwdriver or sharp object down the side panels. It has happened twice in the last 2 weeks. It?s very costly to repair and now it?s happened a second time we?re starting to get concerned. It?s also pretty upsetting for our children.I have reported this to the police but am wondering if anyone else on Stuart Road or on neighbouring streets has experienced any similar damage to their vehicles in recent weeks or if you have seen any suspicious behaviour? If so please DM me. I?d be very grateful.Many thanks,Joe Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/244266-help-car-keying-on-stuart-road/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

joom Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Or a real one and possibly catch the person doing it on film. Good luck! Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/244266-help-car-keying-on-stuart-road/#findComment-1390593 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe on Stuart Road Posted December 18, 2019 Author Share Posted December 18, 2019 Thank you Joom. That sounds like a really good idea and much cheaper than paying for repairs.

RichH Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 I'd suspect that the presence of an expensive looking camera in your car is more likely to result in a smashed window and the theft of the camera, fake or otherwise.Dash mounted cameras are generally designed to look forwards when the car is moving. Even assuming that you could keep it running and recording whilst the car is parked, what if your vandal keyed your car from the rear towards the front? All you'd likely see is them apparently innocently walking past your car.

Sue Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Whereabouts on Stuart Road was your car parked?I'm just wondering if The Ivy House has CCTV (though I've never noticed any) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/244266-help-car-keying-on-stuart-road/#findComment-1391106 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe on Stuart Road Posted December 19, 2019 Author Share Posted December 19, 2019 Thank you Sue and RichH. Different parking places both times but sadly not covered by Ivy House CCTV. I spoke with staff at the pub who very kindly said they'd keep an eye out.
