Cheltenham – not a nice place to live

Got up this morning and found the 93 has been vandalised again

So in the past 8 months:

93 – smashed windscreen
93 – dents in the roof from some scrote running over it
95 – smashed windscreen
93 – smashed windscreen (and this time they left the rock behind in my front garden)

Cars parked on the road, only third party, no windscreen cover (thanks a bunch Tesco for lying to me)

£400-500 per windscreen.

So that £1500 paid out in the past 8 months to repair damage that the police show little interest in.

I report it- they want to know if I’m White English. I ask them is it going to make a difference to how they investigate it?

I think I manage to persuade them that as no other vehicle has been damaged its targetted against me or my cars or my wife.

Don’t expect the police to do anything  – they’ve no teeth any more and the scum who do this sort of thing aren’t afraid of them.

Can’t afford to repair the cars so will have to get rid of them and buy something cheap and nasty that I can do fully comp insurance on and if that car gets worked over then I’m going to be raising hell

Kerboom???

There are some very interesting markings on the road outside our house.

Two nice long skid marks which start in the middle of the road, drift slowly over to one side and end at the back end of another vehicle which is a bit mashed.

Now our road is quite narrow, its wide enough for one vehicle to get down the middle with a car parked on both sides. The road goes nowhere and is posted at 30mph.

The skid marks are, at a quick visual estimate (based on the length of our canal boat), about 70 feet long. How fast does a car have to be going to leave 70 foot long skid marks on a road?

No doubt it was some piece of chavvy scum from Whaddon in a stolen car… it won’t be the first time that some moron has crashed on our road (someone clipped 3 cars once and then flipped the vehicle they were in).

I really do despair about Cheltenham sometimes…
