    It's not like you can even budget for some mindless ****!

    I can understand (but not condone) people stealing stuff coz they are gonna make money out of it, but why the **** vandalise something! How the hell do they benefit from that? :confused:

    If they are caught you should be allowed to slash them! :D


    believe me mate if i caught up with them they would regret it ;)

    I know, its unbelievable basically its to spite people cos they have something nice its basically spitefulness :( just really put a downer on my day at the moment.

    Only thing i can really do is to try and earn some more money on the matched betting to try and then put the winnings into trying to pay off my debt earlier :o

    Aww James,

    I'm so sorry to hear about the sh1ts who've slashed your tryes. Will your insurabce cover this?

    What do these young prats get out of this???

    Hope you're feeling OK and are calming down.

    your telling me mate :mad: ive really really !!!!ed off because even the wheel arch has been damaged as well and i only just had it fixed recently cos the bodykit needed mending :mad: i telephoned the police and ive got a crime reference number but basically i doubt anything will come off it :(

    Im sure its some kids of the estate but no one can prove anything becuase no-one saw this happen to everyones cars :(

    Between reading you and SS's threads I've ran out of expletives... Grrrr

    Does this sort of stuff happen regularly around your home? If so have you thought about setting up or joining a neighbourhood watch scheme?

    Try hassling the Police to see if they can step up patrols in your area too, even if it's just for a couple of weeks. If they can't catch the B******** then at least they can act as a deterrent (whadda ya know - I found another swear-word after all...)

    It's a !!!!!! about not quite making the £10K point, but you're still not all that far off now - the next few weeks will pass before you know it.

    Thanks Katrina C and Verbatim :o

    In all honesty i didnt even think of using my insurance, but even if i had done i probably wouldnt have used it cos i dont want to ruin me no-claims bonus :o

    Police patrols are pretty regular in our area but i live right on the edge of a council estate/rural area and although its a really nice area obviously we do have trouble with the estate kids :rolleyes: (p.s. im not branding all estate kids with the same brush here, its just that there is a bit of trouble with the ones in our area :) )

    As no one saw anything there is little the police can do, unfortunatley im just going to have to bite the bullet on the cost of the tyres im afraid :mad:

    right well at the weekend i had to spend £13 on some food for myself, and some sandwhich meat/bread milk for me lunches so hopefully that will last for about 2 weeks :) nothing else to report on except that i need to up-date my signature as in two weeks now i have made nearly £80 doing the matched betting :j at the rate im going ill catch SS up soon :D :rotfl: basically with my matched betting winnings im keeping them going so i can either use them as an emergency fund if i have any "breakdowns" on me car (crossed fingers though :rolleyes: :rotfl: ) or at the end of 2007 ill hopefully have enough to pay off the last little bits of my debt and start 2008 afresh :)

    Brilliant James.:beer:

    It would be great to be able to knock the debt on the head that much earlier. If you carry on with the matched betting you might make it even sooner than that.:D

    What did you decide about enjoying Xmas?:confused:
