Smashed Car Windscreen - asking for assistance from the lovely Bonner People.

Surprised the offered forensic services, mate recently had his car stolen when they smashed the side window in, wrecked the steering column and took it on a joyride, cops refused to even consider forensics stating it was a waste of time for small value property damage. Good luck but don’t hold your breath on the offenders ever being caught.

This sucks. I feel really bad for you and hope that this does not happen to any one else. Do you yourself have a facebook page? Post it on there as well.

People who vandalise other peoples property really get on my goat. If the shoe was on the other foot they would be pissed!

Hope it does not cost you too much, and that your insurance company does not increase your premiums.

Is the car always parked on the side of the road? I know alot of houses/apartments in that area do not have garages. Once again I am sorry that this has happened to you a hard working person does not need to have this done to them.

Hey Guys, I found a link on Facebook (MyGungahlin), apparently this happened to a few cars in Bonner and Forde and Casey last night (Monday Morning).

Sorry this happened but you’re not going to get the justice you want. Report it to police as Danman suggested. If there’s a pattern of this behaviour in the area, they may be able to target it.

If it’s any consolation, the person that did this is a sad, low life maggot, who no doubt lives an empty, pathetic life and will never achieve anything worthwhile.

Last night there was a spate of criminal damage in Casey with golf balls the main M.O. Have you called the plod to report – All intel adds to their bigger picture.

Yeah I have called the Police (PoePoe, as I say to my students) They were very helpful and made a report. They did offer forensic testing but I said I don’t think that would be overly necessary.

Car will be back on the road before the weekend so no students will miss out on their lessons.

Mate I wouldn’t even bother with the reward and as for someone being found guilty. Fat chance. This happened to me and witnesses provided the police with the description of the vandals, their licence plate number and offered to go to the court to testify. You know what the police did, nothing. My car was one of 10 vandalised in a Civic car park on a Friday night in front of hundreds of shoppers.

Our police are overstretched, under funded and are hamstrung by a pathetic justice system.

I’m sorry it happened to you, but you’re just better moving on.

Ouch, that would sting knowing you have some sort of proof, Sorry to hear that.

I genuinely feel for you and this pointless damage. I know how hard it is living from payday to payday and any excess costs can ruin your budget for weeks. I also support my elderly father on top of being a mum and I know how hard it is to juggle two household costs on one household income as my fathers pension only covers his needs without factoring in the high cost of renting a decent place.
Back to your car damage – I can only suggest you speak to your neighbours and perhaps contact Neighbourhood Watch to include in their newsletter? I’ve reported teens in my area taking potshots with golf balls at cars. Did any of your surrounding neighbours report similar damage? I cant really offer much more than my empathy and hope you get a good outcome to your situation. Best of.

Yeah My Neighbors were the ones that alerted me to this morning, then I did a round through the Bonner Shops and asked staff etc, will have to check the neighborhood watch bit ( good tip )

Thanks for the help people 🙂
