R20GRC said:mate, i feel sorry for you, but what's the deal with the ebay listing? Are you for real or what? How can you expect other people to give you money? My gfs clio has had its bonnet kicked in for absolutely no reason whatsoever, I feel exactly as you do about this sort of thing and am also pissed off that I am going to have to spend my hard earned to get it sorted. But, I don't expect other people to pay for it. Get over it, get it sorted yourself.

Dave said:I'd be interested to know what the Police COULD do in a crime whereby there are no witnesses, no Scenes of Crime Evidence, no person's thought responsible, No CCTV.
If anyones got any ideas....?

TheClioLad said:Very ture.
Some kids thought it would be fun to boot my mates Focus in while he was at a set of lgihts. He reported it to the police and they told him that they're not going to take it furhter because ''it was only kids playing''!!!!No I'm not joking, that's exactly what they said.
Williams025 said:Sorry, thats hard to believe! If thats the truth your mate should make an issue of it as its stright forward criminal damage (as long as there was actually damage!) - but I dont think any police officer would try to glaze that over as 'kids playing', he'd get dragged across the coles by his boss!
makavelli said:gutted for you mate, but begging for cash to repair the car and to fit a cctv unit at home is just wrong!
sh*t happens! we just have to deal with it!!!!
R20GRC said:at the end of the day mate, light-hearted or not, you are still taking money of complete strangers and what for?? You need a reality check. I'm going to start an ebay listing of my own, asking people to donate their cash to me because I want more money.
Williams025 said:Well said. All the 'police do nothing' qoutes are a bit nieve. Do people think police officers walk around with crystal balls containing all the info they need. "No officer, I didnt see anything, my neighbours didnt, there is no CCTV, and I have no information that might assist any further enquiries. But why cant you just arrest him anyway??".

I wouldn't piss on em if they were on fire.

Crazy Clio said:I've needed the police on three car related occasions. First when a drunk uninsured driver crashed into me, secondly when my car keys were stolen from me at knife point and thirdly when I some people attempted to car jack me. did they do ANYTHING, it took them 3 days to come out for the key theft, they didnt even bother the other 2 times, complete waste of time.
If my house was burgled, I wouldnt even contact the police, they are a waste of f**king time, too busy with pulling people over for incorrect p0lat spacing.
If my car was being broken into they probably would stand back and watch.
From now on, if anything happens locally, im going to pay a few crack heads to find out who did it and sort it my self.
It is a strong opinion, but dont think it isnt backed up with reason!
Also, why when they pull you over, do they automatically become c**ky and think they are better than you?
Dave said:A very good point Williams025 but I will re-grade those calls for you as to how they ACTUALLY came in (probably).
1 - The car key robbery. Ok, so it happened. But I have a feeling that it was called in hours after the event. Suspects long gone, poor descriptions given etc.
2 - Drunk Driver/Uninsured. Would need more details TBH.
3 - Attempted Car jacking. Again was probably called in long after the event, poor descriptions, suspects long gone.
