Angry Neds scraping cars

Thanks to the Kappa track suit wearer that scored the side of my car on Saturday night with a key. Congratulations for scraping the bonnet about six months ago, then the front wing and both doors on Saturday - I bet your parents are proud of you!

I was walking through a nightspot in Edinburgh where I noticed some ned had walked down a line of cars (20 or so) and keyed the bonnet of EVERY one of them Personally I think more needs to be done to catch these people and bring them to justice. Oh and a slap on the wrists is NOT justice!!

You have to be realistic. It's really not that big a crime.

I would rather they catch drug dealer, rapists and burglars.

of course not, however it is frustrating when you spend all your hard earned cash on your hobby and some nugget spoils it for no reason!

Yeah but they don't catch them either, do they?

Also, add up the amount of damages to those 20 cars, lets say 200 damage to each. £4000 in one incident. Now magnify that by the amount of times this happens.

It starts to get less minor really.

I'd support a "Criminal Retribution Service", where for the rest of their life, the same deed is done to them. Imagine his chavscum kids having to watch as an officer keys every body panel on his new car when he's finally grown up and become a member of society (should that ever happen ). Every car he ever owns, or has access to, done every year.

Where do I sign up to be a CRS Enforcement Officer?

I'd like to start with the scum that keyed my Scoob the day someone came to buy it. Cost me 500 quid because I needed to sell the car that week.

Default As a recent victim of a scrape and run I can sympathise!

But my friend at work caught someone doing it the other week! That story cheered me up no end..........Enough said on a public forum me-thinks!

They don't always get away wih it.

Wasn't there someone on here recently who saw a teenager damage his car but couldn't prove it. Waited a few years, and when the recently 17 year old got his first car he repaid the favour, and some
