CCTV sounds in order. At least you can then (hopefully) identify them and send a bill to thr parents.

Carefull though - We dont want the OP getting accused of being a peado when zoelouise passes the house

If you can deal with the publicity - local paper article might be able to shame the supermarket into sorting out the source of the rocks.

Or stick a large sign in the damaged window explaining that X supermarket provided the ammo for the local yobs to do this.

It's the goverment's fault - these poor youngsters have nothing else to do. Why don't you and some of your neighbours petition the local authority for some activities for them - a youth centre with pool tables and expensive video games or such?

Can you not claim on your house insurance?

And pay the excess on the claim and then watch the insurance premium rise next year (and every following year) as the OP will then have a claim history and will be living an an area which has a higher risk.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think the comment from Julie was a bit tongue in cheek. (at least I hope it was)

Hi

I think if you shop around you may find the double glazed replacement unit is not as expensive as you think.

I did get a trade price but as an example I paid £30 +VAT for 975 x 390
and £62.55 for a toughened 2012 x 1920

Sorry went a bit left wing there, everything back to normal

Thanks for the comments. The road and pavement outside is covered in rocks this morning - some of them so large I needed to move them out of the road. I think we got lucky seeing the size of them! Am leaving hubby to do the complaining to the supermarket, police and councellor - he is better at that then I am!

I hope it is not too much money to replace the glass - very impressed with the safety glass though the window is completely shattered but not a single speck of glass has fallen to the ground.

The police don't care. Every summer holidays we have a high profile curfew imposed on the area against groups of teens after 9pm but you never see any police keeping the curfew! In previous times they have been throwing rocks at passing cars - making the drivers swerve but again the police were uninterested and the supermarket said they would not send their security guard to move them from the walls.

Oh well OH is now vowing to call up the police station and supermarket every time they are being noisy outside after last night. Oh and making the front garden more impenetrable to rocks with a few bushes!
