No CCTV.
How can you claim off someone, when you dont know who that someone is.
Police not interested. Private Land0 -
You cannot sue/claim/call it what you will, from the owner of the land.
The police are not interested because they have better thing to deal with, than civil cases. You're at a loss.

...Police not interested...
I'm sorry but I don't believe you.
If what you describe is true, that is criminal damage and it is the role of the police to investigate.
Furthermore your insurers would usually want a crime number in the event of such a claim (the police don't know whether or not you are actually going to claim against your insurance), and the last thing the police want is yet another unsolved crime, which is what they will have if you reported it and they don't investigate.
If your claim is true that the police will not do their job, then make an official complaint.

OP, I'm interested, if you parked at a friends house and your car was vandalised would you expect your friend to pay for the damage?0

It was a kids football tournament and this club hosted. Huge spaces inbetween cars which would point to it being malicious but seing as no-one around to witness, hard to say. I will be blowed if I am paying £400 to correct something that happened on thir land. NO disclaimer notices. I may add that there were enough staff about when they were taking the money! But dissappeared soon as everyone was in.
I'm not a betting guy but I would put £400 on you paying up / claiming off your insurance or living with the damage.0 -

If you weren't claiming via insurance, would you inform your insurer?0
