Hello,

Dan here I live on Hindmans Road.

I've been speaking to neighbours who have picked up some of the pieces from what appears to be an attempted theft of my car around 2pm on Monday.

The driver side window is smashed and the panels around the ignition put out of place and scratched.

Some have suggested it's by the same guy who has apparently tried to get into cars on other nearby roads.

If anyone has more information on this please let me know - the description has been a white male 'kid' in balaclava.

Thanks for all the help so far - I only got this car home last week so a very unfortunate incident.

Dan

P.S. If any particularly good value garages around please let me know - I have pretty much spent it all on buying the car in the first place

Very sorry to hear this.

Have you reported it to the police, particularly if there have been other similar incidents near you?

I don't know what is "good value", but the people at Dell Autos in Hansler Road (off Lordship Lane) are  reliable and helpful.

Yes reported to police - case already 'closed' though..

In the end I'm fixing via insurance which will affect price down the line but simplest way to get it taken away and fixed.

I've got hold of some video of same kid trying a car on Underhill Road - white, slight build, Arsenal windbreaker, balaclava. Local policing team have been made aware so we shall see..

    • Mystey solved!    As pointed out by a few of you - this was indeed a mistake from a council subcontractor who instals keysafes.  Just a couple of emails with the council (thanks IionaM for the heads up), and they are now scheduled to come and take it off (AND fix the wall) next week.  Very happy with the response from the council. It was an odd mistake to make but it seems it will be reverted 🙂       
    • Helping a family friend.  Fireplace and fire breast removed leaving the rectangular base of the hearth. Reasonably flush with exposed wooden floorboards. Anyone have this in their gaff?  Simple thing would be to paint it with brown floor paint, other options are jazzy Victorian self adhesive vinyl tiles or put some quarry tiles on it.  Latter two both a feature but not sure a  raised surface works. Place came like this.  I'd be happier with an original Victorian fireplace.  
    • If you haven't, check out Michelle's thoughts about Assisted Dying. Complex area to legislate - especially if you see both sides of the argument. Crunch question: can you prevent 'mission creep'? Artist and activist, Michelle is worth a listen.
    • Just had Tommy out to service my boiler again. Last year I had the strip down service & also asked him to hang and rebalance some radiators. Excellent service, Tommy really knows his stuff and is a very nice chap to boot! Would definitely recommend.
