Why? I never considered this as a kid...

So... attended Mini club last night, thankfully took my newley re-sprayed Mini with me...

Came home to find this: (pitures taken this morning in the true light of day)



They've tried to kick my brother's Mini off the axel stands... Evening before he was due to refit his front subframe...
We jacked it back up and secured it last night.



Ouch, but at least Mini wings are easy to replace.



Further up the road, at least we're not being targeted:



And not so easy to fix:



Loads more to see, but in a rush this morning...

So yeah, Happy Halloween, the Police have been informed and apparently it was more than just this, about 25 cars in total within a mile radius...
They informed us they were giving chase to the offenders last night, and SOCO will be round today... fingers crossed eh.

This kind of thing really does make me angry...how is that considered fun by people? Ruining peoples cars, causing hundreds of pounds worth of damage.

That micra could even be written off surley with the rear quarter damage as well?

I really can see the positives of Americas gun laws. Then we'd be able to shoot these ba**ards!

I cant see pics here in work but imagine it not good where was this to in Bristol? Im near staple hill and it was very quiet we only had one knock for trick or treat and to be honest we thought it to late to be little kids so didnt answer but didnt see any damage to any thing luckily either.
Just mindless vadilism they know they not likely to get caught and even if do what will they get a suspended sentance or community service!!!

This is sickening, I cannot believe people can be so heartless as to wreck innocent peoples' property!

I hope the culprits are caught and put to justice ... like with an electric chair..

I hate what Halloween seems to represent. Its the only night of the year I make damn sure my car is in the garage and locked away well before it gets dark, because things like this seem to becoming more common. I know it happens at other times of the year too, but at Halloween there seems to be so many groups of people wandering round, a bad group perhaps don't stand out.

Thankfully your brothers mini is easily fixable, not that he should have to! Also that your own car was away for the evening, phew!

few years ago my corsa got kicked in on hallowe'en. I can honestly say if I saw someone do this to my car again and I had a gun I wouldn't hesitate to pull the trigger. Scum, they have no respect for peoples property whatsoever. I hope karma teaches them a painful lesson.

I dont think it's that bad, it's like terrorists though, you only need a few people to kick up a stink to give the rest a bad name.

Personally, I'd like to see Britain embrace Halloween more, like the Americans. But we're a bit too conservative for that.

Yup, you should see the other side of it also, real shame for the owner who was in tears, lucky it's just a wing for us.

Please don't tempt me, they even tresspassed to get to the car...

Kingswood, It's not good, but what's done is done... We don't want compensation, we can fix the wing, just would like the name and address of whoever did it, so we can weld a new one on knowing they've also got to fix something...

madness, id find the little A holes and kick there heads in.

Shame the inner wings are intact, and they're the early type, or a head would fit through and probably knock the dent out, well no harm in trying, at least not to my head.

Cheers mate, I felt like a right moron when I said to my brother, "at least they didn't do mine" but he knew what I meant.

Yeah my whole street clearly think it's the best night of the year...

Hard to embrace it when people scum use it as an excuse to do this...

Demanding money/treats with menaces. Strangers / kids dressed up with hidden faces, knocking on your door begging and if you don't give, you get your property damaged........ Brilliant idea !

When the rest of the year kids are told not to take sweets from strangers.

I had a big sign on my front door saying " No Thank You "

[toyboy396]

If that was my car (especially my mini) I'd be finding the chavs and taking them for a ride in my van,
Find somewhere quiet and start preparing them for Guy Fawkes night. >



But thats just me

So you think there are some good terrorist out there, who? Blowing up Joe Public going about your daily business because you don't agree with something some Government has done. Pal I think you really need to rethink that !

well, that's not quite what i meant and i think you know it.

Fanatics, extremists, mobs, whatever u want to call them - causing trouble while the rest try and do things the right way.

[afoggo]
