Looking at the photos the car is a write off, they will not fix it.

These people need to be.......... I better not say what I am thinking!!

PS: This seems to be a personal attack on you, a lot of rage was vented on your car, almost appears like someone was making sure the car was a write off by damaging every panel on the car.

Where was it parked and were other cars damaged as well??

I can't believe people think that it is funny to do this to someones car. There is no respect in the world anymore. I hope that your insurance doesn"t stuff you around to much and pay you out write it off and you can make the most of a bad situation by buying yourself another nice ford.

That is seriously disgusting. It makes me think twice about parking my pride and joy in the street.

Hopefully the little ***** who did this get run over by a truck or something...

It was parked at a footy oval as i watching a few mates play and then i went to a local pub not far away but it's a pretty dodgy area at the best of times probably best described as Blacktown and Redfern's love child.

Having said that i've left cars there a number of times and had no problems. Wrong place, wrong time i guess.

That's not ordinary vandalism and I'm guessing you did not get into somebody elses bed. From the extent of the damage, someone has it in for you, bigtime and too gutless to front you about it so your car cops it. Think your non-friends and you may come up with a suspect for the crime. Meanwhile as said before, some shopping time for your next set of wheels.

Been doing that all day, can't come up with anyone to be honest as i haven't been over that way for months.

In hindsight it wasn't a smart idea to leave it there as there is big skate park next door thats a hang out for large groups of kids/teens and other undesirables at all hours of the night.

I have seen less damage to cars that have been rolled!!

Are you sure you were not drunk, rolled it, and are just saying it was vandalised?!!

Also why drive it home like that?!!

Wouldnt you just leave it there, ring the cops and get a towtruck to take it away?!

I rang the po po and pretty much got told that unless i knew who did it there was nothing they can really do about it, ring the assistance line to report it and ring insurer. Not worth there time.

It was only 5 mins from home, was early morning and i had things on and it was going to be a few hours for a tow.

Got some serious WTF looks driving it though

I know two people personally, who have had their cars vandalised in such a way. Its a sick minded oxygen thief who pulls s*&^ like this on another mans wheels.

One of the cars was a Mazda 3 and the other was a Toyota Camry which got targeted and well and truly done over. The Camry still had the shopping trolley smashed into the roof when he found the damage. Our local police gave a similar response to the OP's situation.

To quote pulp fiction " Whats more chicken *&^% than ******* with anothers mans vehicle?"

Best of luck with a speedy resolution mate.

I'm guessing at least 3/4 if not more of the car would need respraying to some degree also.

Whilst im absolutely fuming over it, it's the inconvenience of having to spend the next cple of weeks following everything up that annoys me more than anything.

Windale it would've been stripped &/or burnt as well though, you got lucky.

Some people probably would've heard something, but most wouldn't care, the others would fear for their life if they did something about it & was found out.

I have done work around that area many times, & there are some very nice people, living in unfortunate situations in & around the Dept. Housing places. A big chunk of those around there, you wouldn't brake for them if they walked on the road in front of you. You'd only stop to save damage to your car, not for them.

I used to do contract repair work for the NSW Dept. Housing & seriously you wouldn't believe some of the things I've seen & the way some people live. It's not nice to say, but we're helping breed these types of people, who'll then breed more. I know of some places with 3 or 4 generations of these types of people living on centerlink payments in public housing.
