    It's entirely possible somebody in another car has loaded something too long to fit in, so it's poking out of a window or the tailgate - and that's "poked" the glass.

    Possible but not likely.

    Given the amount of shonky parking tickets, issued for the most preposterous reasons that we see here from Meadowhall, it would suggest that G24 or Meadowhall themselves do have a lot of people patrolling/predating the car parks and cameras to serve their own interests.

    I was parked in the red car park downstairs where its not got CCTV
    Why don't you have CCTV in your car? Are you negligent by not doing so?


    Edit - just seen this previous reply. Looks like we're thinking same thing...

    Why didn't you have a camera/s in your car that records while you are parked, that would have caught the person who did it?. So using your logic you must have been negligent by not having a camera in your car. Also why didn't you hire someone to patrol near your car to keep an eye on it?. This is also very negligent of you!.

    ;)
    Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.

    Thankyou, i see where you're coming from and it would have a big budget attached. However do you think they have been negligent by not installing CCTV or having patrols ?
    Most definitely no!

    Well having CCTV would mean that i wouldn't have to pay because they would have been caught on camera and then it comes out of their insurance
    Don't be silly! Where on earth did you get that from?

    Well i wouldn't need to prove negligence because they have CCTV which would have caught whoever had done this. By meadowhall not having CCTV in one of their car parks when its provided in other car parks means that i couldn't see who had done this and therefore has to pay my excess. Because im a new driver this could have a serious impact on my policy

    When some &%$# did this to my car a few years ago it didn't affect insurance as it's not in the category of a "claim" so you should be ok.

    I wonder if there needs to be a minimum post count on MSE before new members can start a thread?

    Well op wouldn't be here if she didn't have a problem surely!


    And I can't believe comments like this are still flying around. Your becoming more of a laughing stock than DM

    Who is the laughing stock?

    Those fed up with trolling posts or those gullible enough to believe stories so fanciful that they should be on Tales of the Unexpected.
