Sad to happen but I also feel this type of thing will get more common as cash gets tighter and insurance companies rape us even more.
Like st3ve said on another thread regarding admiral and the speed awareness course which is designed to give you a break from points and insurance hikes yet they now ask if you've been on one and hike your premium to the point where you might as well have taken the points,not lost a days pay and paid only a Ł60 fine rather than the Ł90 odd the course costs.
If its not too bad some good news is the doors are readily available and really easy to swap.

I's a right cunt when you don't catch the fucker. Mine had the rear bumper smashed during the early hours. You park up a damn near immaculate car which is your pride and joy, then go out in the morning for work and find it damaged. Some cunt put a kebab on the spoiler a few weeks ago. Fucking eejits.!

I don't condone actions like a hit and run but with premiums as high as they are from rip off insurance companies its no wonder why people are scared to claim and will leave a accident if possible.
Hopefully you will catch the twat who did this.

Have faith, after our police officers are done with speed cameras, dodgy number plates and other such heinous crimes, they will move onto the silly stuff like car thieves and catch them and prosecute them.


OOpps sorry....had a moment of madness there.

Hopefully it will be found and not damaged too badly, or if they do crash with any luck the thieves will die in the process.

You should get yourself a couple of those "dashcam" cameras, one for front, one for rear, you could get the ones that record in a loop,(once the card is used up it over-rites from the start) put a big mem card in them, and keep them on 24-7, have some covering the house/ surrounding area while you are at it

Same thing happened to our Cameron's girlfriends KA, got hit twice outside the house as usual no one saw anything. We live on the school street and the fat useless lazy school run mums use the drive over the road to turn around instead of going down the road.

Wankers but the above comments on insurance policys carry a lot of truth

Absolute tosser, as said no respect what so ever, and i bet the person who did it would have been equally as pissed of had it have been their car.

Hopefully someone will bash their car in the super market car park next week, serve them right then

probably didn't have insurance or a licence or was drunk, or if he/she had insurance and couldn't afford for it to go up, so did a runner
