smashed window!

Post by Timmo »

some may have seen my wanted post about this! wasnt a happy bunny this morning when i went out to check on something!
Appears that at some point during the nighrt some lowlife tought it a cracking idea to throw something hard at my passenger rear window! nothing has been taken from the car as the window shattered but stayed in one peice!but this is what i found this morning!!

and from the inside, all the flecs you can see are glass shrades!
Image
and this is what i beleive was used for it!
Image
a fairly substancial peice of road! i beleive has come from one of the hole in the road that the water company have been digging to fix thre mains, except our were done a month back so it didnt come from our road!!!
not a happy bunny but have got the glass out and have made up a perspex window to make it water tight

Why do people have to do things like this!!!!

That's lame mate. I really feel for you. I assume the paint is ok?

Good luck with a replacement. Might be worth posting on the BXclub, if you haven't already - the TDs have the same tint don't they...?

Hmmmm. Pikeys have moved into a field in the next Village. Wonder who did that then.

Could've been worse. Stupid twats missed the sat nav in the glove box and 1k's worth of tools in the boot. [:D]

Got in the car this morning, turned the ignition on, went to put a cd in the radio....."awww b*****ks!" then thought about it, remembered the tools and sat nav and flew into a major panic....

Had not seen this but I think we can safely say it puts "paid" to number 11 in this post (and that is not to say you live in a dodgy area Timmo). Can be anywhere. Glad you have sourced one.
