Last night at 9.45pm I went to take my Boss (wife) to work and it had been raining Heavily with strong winds,
Jumped in my car and started her up, went to wipe the windscreen and noticed it was completely smashed after a few choice words I thought it may have been a branch from a near-by tree, had a look around the car to see if I could see any branches and nothing,

I went to pull thr car forward to see if anything had gone underneath  it and the car would not move. I got out again to see if anything was under the wheels and all four tyres were slashed : after a few more choice words the wife and I went indoors while I arranged alternative transport for the Boss.

she called the police and after ten minutes on the phone with them the conversation was over, they phoned me back about an hour and half later spent half hour on the phone with me and gave me a crime reference number.never even came out.

After no more than a few winks sleep through out the night thinking about it,
the only thing I can think of, is on Saturday
I started a new area, and the only reason I started it was because one of my old cutomers of nine years, asked me if I could do her new place as its not far from my home I agreed, during the day (as I was at her house all day) I noticed a couple of mean looking guy's doing windows, they asked me what the F*** I was doing on there patch,so I politly explaned why I was there, and in no uncertain terms they told me I had to leave the area.
No chance I have this one customer and thats it, I don't want any more I have a full six week round and I don't need any more, after a few threats they went off. and that was it, or at least I thought, until last night when  it all happened. But do you know what I felt no anger, now this is strange for me as five years ago I would have got my bike out and hunted for them, I must be getting old.

All the hasstle it has  caused alternative arrangments for my Boss, No work for the next few days £250 access on my Insurance four new tyres at £45 and a new windscreen at £518. Never mind worse things happen at sea.

I will try to post some pictures of it later on. thats my moan over with thanks for listening guy's.

How very sad and small minded people are out there.

I would find out their names and addresses and report them to the police for harrassement, I would also speak to trading standards and Inland Revenue to see if they are legitimate. Chances are they are not.

What a pair of W****rs

Hi Trev

No name on there van : and at six oclock this morning I was on the phone to the police again, gave them my CRN and told them of these two gentlemen    but without any proof there is nothing they can do,

I did see the house they were at, and I am tempted to go around the house and ask a few questions, but again I would have to be so carefull in what I ask. It might be there mates for all I know. and I have grown attached to my legs over the past 50 years

I am sorry to hear that you have suffered at the hands of people such as this....despite the financial loss, you have shown here that you are indeed a better man in so many ways than the fools who commit such acts throughout the country each and every day.

Rise above it and pity the poor fools.

Dave.

[jeff1]

How sad these people are?

When people resort to this you can bet your bottom dollar there not legit, i'd take my time find out what you can and grass the b'stards. But wait a while, revenge is a dish best served cold.

[steveaqua]

that is sad! i've never been confronted with any kind of violence while window cleaning but if this was to happen to me i would be raged! i feel for you i really do...i'll jst suggest to you that JJBs has got a half price offer on on baseball bats at the moment

where in the country did this happen?

[jeff1]

Hi Steve
Like Dave said its best served cold and it happened in Somerset,
I have to be Careful what I say on an open forum  if you know what I mean  you never know if the W*****s log on here?

Just deleted some of my own post??

What a pair of horrible poops.  If you are going to do this house again, and they see you doing it, it might be worth your while setting up some sort of cctv in your house looking towards your path and car (just in case) They are quite cheap now or you might be able to use a video camera to catch them in the act.

How did they know where you live?

And if these tossers are on this forum you should be ashamed of yourselves, when any of my customers move and ask me to still do their windows I always do ( unless I dont like them ) and I would not expect any grief off of anyone for doing so.

[jeff1]

Mike
The customer now live's no more than a five minute drive from me, and maybe they knew were my car was, or Just Followed me  home,

I must admit I have never seen these gentlemen : before, I have even phoned the other half a dozen WC I know around the area and by the desciption  I gave,no one has seen or heared of them.

Very sorry to see you've been through this ordeal Jeff.  What kind of idiots would carry out such totally mindless vandalism over one house!
From all your posts Jeff, you seem like a decent intelligent bloke.  Well done for remaining calm.
What goes around comes around, life will dish out something in their faces eventually.  The thing about bullies is that they are always cowards and there is always someone bigger.
Keep your head up Jeff

[Sir Squeaky]

Gutted for you mate.... I used to drive a Mondeo.

 

Seriously though, what can you do?
Against people like that you can't win.
Any accusations their way or any revenge will virtually guarantee more problems for you.

No ideas I'm afraid.

[jeff1]

I can't Believe this, Last night I applied on-line for windscreen quotes, I applied to national companys The one that could be bothered to reply quoted me £518 or if I was or Knew someone in the AA/Rac they could do it for £354:12 for a heated front screen, me being Dumb and thinking the internet was usually the cheapest place I took this price as an average.

Now it takes a woman I suppose to do the shopping and when the boss found out, I only had prices from the internet, she picked up yellow pages and started phoning around,
she phoned the one who gave me a price last night  and me in the back ground waving my arms like a demented octopus saying don't bother I know there price?
She came of the phone from them and she told me that the price she was given included fitting and a heated front screen for £122+vat so we she continued to phone and it worked out the same company who priced it on the internet last night were the cheapest by phone.

So in future guy's get the boss to do the shopping

[jeff1]

Pj & sueaky.

In sad times like this it does help give a little lift.
