Problems!

Car windscreenPosts may be light today

I have a few problems to sort out, a few phone calls to make, a few emails to send.

The ridiculous thing about this is having to wait until Monday to have this criminal damage repaired, although I have full comprehensive insurance the three glass companies used by my insurers cannot get out to me today. They can replace the glass today, but only if I drive through to Sunderland, the policeman who came round to see me warned that it would be illegal to drive the car in this condition.

I can assure you there have not been many incidents like this in this area of South Shields during the twenty years I have lived here.

Makes you wonder just who I have been upsetting! (Odd how one of my neighbours skeedaddled just after I’d inspected the damage this morning.)

Update

I decided to take the risk and take the car through to Sunderland to have the windscreen replaced, if I’d left it until Monday it would only tempt someone to add to the damage. Now £75 insurance excess out of pocket but feeling happier.

After twenty years residence in this street I don’t need to be Einstein to put two and two together!

  1. next time you open your mouth, learn how to fight first, being right doesn’t make you wise, that dent in your windscreen could have been on the side of your head…

  3. Gosh Curly that is just awful..
    Those people never think what if you needed the car in an emergency..
    The Police might be able to get the money out of him, the insurance company will try, wont they?
    That person is very stupid, after what he did before as if everybody would not know it was him, as if he would get away with it..
    Every dog has its day and he is about to have his, I am very happy to know that and bet you are too..
    Good luck with it all..

  9. [...] where I park my car, kindly left by an old neighbour, it keeps some people mollified and happy, but not me. It seems to me that research and facts prove that CCTV cameras are not that useful as a tool [...]
