  • Go out and tell them to sod off! or you will be telling their parents what they are up to!

    I did this when i went to my fella's house and the kids were playing on scooters right next to my car. They eventually moved on.

    Call the police and tell them a Muslim or gay person is being verbally abused and you'll have local constabulary around with 5 minutes, complete with Riot Squad and ARU.

    On a serious note, that is criminal damage and I can't believe you've taken it so well. If they'd damaged my car, compensation and/or retribution would be forthright on my mind.

    It is an offence and shouldn't just be accepted. I'd call in to the police station and ask to speak to the Duty Sergeant and tell them you wish to make a complaint. Also tell them you will be contacting, your councillor & MP*, about the fact that they are unwilling to do anything about these youths damaging your car. That will probably get some action from them.

    BTW, they will have already damaged you car, the grit on the bottom of the trainers will have scratched your paintwork and I can't believe a 15 year old is so light that he hasn't dented the car in some way.

    * It is coming up to election time in the next year, so MP's will be mindful of this, so things like being tough on crime to get votes should probably get his attention. If not tell the local paper thet your MP isn't bothered about crime, they love stories like that.

    Problem is the parent's really don't give a s**t, and are probably just happy the kids are out and about while they watch their mates on Jeremy Kyle, smoke weed etc.
