there seems to be an abundance of low lifes around at the moment ,vandalism , bashings, etc, makes you wonder what causes these people to act like this, best of luck with repairs.

who does this, that is unbelievable, i hope all goes well with your insurance, i dont know if this is a myth or not, but by jumping on the roof does this usualy open the doors, ie, car is involved in a roll over? something i heard years ago? their parents should be made accountable, they are scum. sorry for you, i hope it comes back better then new.

That sux!!!I'm from St Clair and it ****es me off how parents let there teenagers roam the streets at all hours of the night.The vandalism and crime is starting to become a major concern lately and i for one would love to see the police take a firmer stance with these lowlifes and put them behind bars where they belong.One thing they should do is if the kids are underage they should make there parents accountable,maybe that would help to clean the streets up.

Mate that is tragic and I know your pain.
I had my car parked in Sth Melbourne one night, come back after dinner to find the windscreen smashed and the roof dented. Long story short, saw a couple of guys close by, chased them, fought and after several months I hear they're going to court. I seriously wish I could have a few hours alone with them so I could introduce them to my friend Aluminium baseball bat across the legs and back. Hope your car gets fixed asap.

Mate,i would be outraged at the actions of some half witted freaks that done that to your ride,especially when you've gone off to a party up the road just to return to what you have shown us.I'm off at what they have done. Bad karma will come their way AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH that sucks!!!!.I'm not usually like this but that has rocked me big time!!!!!.

as an expat yank who has lived in oz 4/5 of my life ...all i can say is ..
why the hell are we following the yanks in their " poor little crim" mentality. when you watch the news today ,all you see is NO JUSTICE for the victims and i dont mean the likes of the OXYGEN BANDITS that did the fandango on the falcon at the head of this thread . i could go on for hours about children s services and the like and how they shield out- of- control young people, and before any one picks on the coppers, dont forget that it is the POLITICIANS that make the rules ,the poor coppers are duty bound to uphold it ,even though ,in secret they too would like to see "more appropriate justice served" :

Terrible to see Henri especially knowing the length of time it has taken to get her in the order you have been proud of. Damn shame and these tossers never to be convicted of their crimes !

heaps of feeling in this post which is totally understandable,,and yes i also have been on the recieveing end of some of my cars being stollen and damaged,,,if it is youth that caused the damage to your car,,who might be bored or have lots of spare time on there hands ,,maybe some of the car clubs might want to think of some way of bringing these kids under there wings and try and show them why we so passinate about our cars and try and change the path that there on,,i know its a long shoot,,but surely its better to try and raise there standards of life rather than us lowering ours in responce to some of there actions

I honestly think having forum/club stickers on your car is an attraction for them also..
I rekon they get their sick kicks out of damaging people personal property knowing fully well that here is VERY little chance of them being caught or punished at a later time, they just need to be able to get out of there before being seen. Now put yourself in their dumb/drunk/drugged shoes... If you're going to attack something, seeing a tidy car with these stickers is like having a flashing sign saying "LOOK HERE, I love my car and have a common interest in this item sitting here unwatched ready for you to attack!" Why wreck any random car when they can ruin another that they KNOW it will really off. They're doing it for kicks, to rebel or to show off amongst a group no doubt and I guarantee this makes it all the better when they see our (sometimes) gleaming cars sitting around with signage like that on it. I don't think it was anything personal to you honestly, just to annoy the **** out of you and the people on the forums they know you are a member of. If they were the smartest of the dumb ****ers, they'd even jump online and hope to see you loose it/post pics of their handy work. I have heard of this before in Western suburbs of Melb and I doubt its confined to there! BTW: I am sorry to see such an act/damage, hope you get the result you rather with insurance. |

@ daniel, I honestly don't think there is enough brain cells in that groups collective brains to think with that sort of logic.

All it takes is one person from this 'group' to think of it..
It isn't uncommon for people to antagonize others to get a reaction, this could also apply here. My question would be then if it wasn't a personal attack, why would they go after your car and not anyone else in the street? Mindless vandalism is usually widespread (more than 1 car) or in patterns. |

I agree with Daniel. Being a "wog" myself, I think that it could have been someone / people of European or whatever descent that did it simply because of the Southern Cross. You know how some of these people are, hate "aussies" and what not, and I am positive someone people would have carried damage like this out simply because of that Southern Cross. Nonetheless, don't hide it, if you want the cross there than keep it - can't let these losers win.

Hey HLC,
Sorry to see what was done to your car :(. I really do feel for you as I know what its like. A couple of years back on my first car I was at a friends house one night and some kids from a party down the road jumped on my bonnet and proceeded to cover it up by removing the hubcaps from the wheels and placing them over the huge dent, also leaving some nice big scratches on the bonnet. Some people really do have no respect for things that belong to other people (especially NICE things). Hopefully the outcome will be a good one for you
