Hope the police catch the dick heads, Sorry for your damage. Mate  just cannot understand the mentality of some fools. I am sure you must have a some idea who might have want  this done to your van and the threats.

Total scum - surely there aren't many hooligans with pink paint about?

Looks a bit like Rolf Harris's work to be honest. He's being questioned on other matters though.


Seriously, do you have an idea who might have done it - another windy?

Childish games and meaningless threats from idiots with no respect!! If they were serious they wouldnt waste time spray painting your van..
I feel for you mate..total Wan€ers out there that do this sort of thing.

Wow, sorry to see that. I always liked your van, ballsy pink is very cool.

Whats the score, is it cleaning/ competition related???


I hope you catch up with whoever it is, and stuff them.

My other half parked in what he saw as "his space" , he went mental , he even got his sons friends to greet me when picking my kids up from school with the notion that they were going to fill me in in front of my daughters !

It all went to court last week , i went with cctv footage of him painting the van at 930 on a saturday morning , voice recordings of him telling me that next time it will be petrol , and the paint pot , brush and lid , all with his prints on ,

He got a 6 week stay in a hotel belonging to the Queen  !

Not nearly enough if you ask me , we have now moved and are renting instead of owning , not ideal but it was a case of move or have our life ruined .

My first van was ruined by what we think was to do with an ex girlfriend, keyed, mirrors kicked off, dented.
I bought a new van and this got keyed slighly but almost polished out the fools.
So i installed a visable £450 cctv camera and since then nothings happened. I would highly reccomend Swann CCTV £450, but its there for life. All our neighbours are happy aswell because it covers most of the street

This is awful Rich.  It must have been really traumatic for you and your family.  Hope things sort themselves out for you.

I'm glad to hear you've moved too.  You don't want to be around people who behave like that.  Best thing to just get out and start to move on. 

Good luck

Tom , that is all it took, he just lost the plot proper this time , we had had problems with him and his family for over 2 years , we got constantly boxed in or blocked out , the kids ended up missing brownies and karate clubs , thats when we got the cops involved .

It was all ready to go to court and was then magically ajourned , we jumped in the car and went veiwing rentals just to get out , on the day we moved i hired a trailer , we went off with one load , came back and he had moved his van to stop me being able to load up again !

We moved and settled in , then i was going to the old house in my spare time to get it ready to sell , that i did .......we then had to go to Southampton for our 4 year olds heart operation , it all went well which was a weight off , as soon as we got back it was time to put the house on the market .............NOT SO ......The idiot next door had ripped all the pvc cladding off the side of my connie , snapped all the bits in half and heaved them in my garden !!!!!

So no , not had a good time of it lately , i even lost 3 stone over it !!!

That's absolutely appalling.
Best wishes to you and your family and especially to your 4 year old for undergoing the heart op.
Hope all is well.
And I hope things take a turn for the better for all of you.

Rich !  I don't usually comment on here, but I was incensed and  gutted when I read your story.
There is only one real outcome from all this ...You've just got to put it behind you and move on..
I know It's easy for me to say that....but thinking about revenge and the injustice ect will just
eat you up. Put your, and your children's health first. It won't be easy but in the end it's the best way
to go.
I feel for you man, all the very best.

add to that , there is something seriously wrong with our society and the quality of its gene pool,
Absolutely disgusts me that you have had to up sticks, give up and sell your family home and move to rented accommodation to sleep well at night. To add insult to injury this guy obstructs you on your moving day and then tries to thwart any chance of you being able to sell your home by causing criminal damage to it !
All this while you have the added worry about your son and his operation.
I don't know if I could walk away from all that, I would want pay back legal or not.
But can quite see why you have, probably would just make things worse.
Certainly makes me put my daily gripes and issues in to perspective.

Totally agree,
But it costs money to keep scum like this in prison money that could be better spent keeping real threats to
society locked up like T.V. Licence dodgers and benefit cheats.

A shocking case mate and well done for not losing your rag with the idiot.
I would now take out a court injunction on him. your get it because his banged up but don't expect him to do 6 weeks,
he will be out on licence in about 2 to 3 weeks and this injunction will help.
Good luck.

Cheers for the kind words chaps , it means a lot .

The fool has been given a life long injunction as part of the (punishment)

As to how i kept my cool , i have no idea , i did a 3 year stretch myself 15 years ago for being a silly boy with petrol , half way through my hell i was ready to slip up and waste a gallon of unleaded on him , my other half said "dont you dare"
Come the end she was offering to nip down to BP to fill my can for me  ;D

I managed to resist her offer and feel my time inside actually counted for somthing !

Now we can start to rebuild our lives .

I would have done the same and moved away. Problem is how to sell the house. If you repair the damage then what will he do? Also I think you have to mention if you have had problems with neighours and the police were involved.
I would have moved and sell the house for as much or as little as you can but start over. Sell the house without the for sale sign coze he will just rip that down
