Any chance we could have Essex singled out from the rest

I just have a terrible feeling that it's going to be the biggie

Both me and my dad have had our cars done over in Liverpool, but not too bad, only once each in all the years we've had cars and never on a nice car.

No-one else in the family had problems but my dads neighbour had his car trashed on the drive a couple of years back

Don't own a Subaru now but when I did the cars was vandalised in the 3 weeks it spent in England, not a single problem when it was at home with me in France.

Problem is I'm only allowed one vote on this poll and I need two.

Not with my Scoob, thank god. But years ago some tw@t decided to kick the bonnet of my Clio 172 when it was parked on my parents driveway overnight

I think I know who it was, but couldn't prove anything. Luckily for him

Wrong they stink, literally. Plus they just **** your car in other ways like their creative 'touch parking' scheme.

Ridiculous poll. I suggest you look at a map of the UK - you'll find that the 'North' of England and Scotland and other regions are huge, and will contain areas of both very high risk and very low risk. You can't get a rating as whole for such large areas. Much better to simply consult an insurance 'postcode' rating for risk, which are used to determine premiums in relatively specific locations.

I think logically "Non England" has to include Wales, Scotland, Deutschland,
Timbuktoo.............

Seriously though, the South West is pretty good for that type of stuff.

I'm sure non England equates to being alot bigger than say the midlands,
so how can the percentages be a true reflection.

What a crock of ****e

Agree this poll isn't really going to work, but you can do further calculations yourself to work out the proportions for each region...

(Number Vandalised in region / Total Number of Votes for region) * (100 / 1) = percentage vandalised in that area

That's the only useful info you can glean from this... but can't apply that to UK versus Non-UK unless you add up all the UK votes first...
