undesirable youths

[mattyt]

I went into hospital on saturday night and about half 11 in my hospital bed recieved a phone call sayin my car had been broken into and when nothing was found to steal they just used half a paving slab to take my car out. . footprints and dents all over the bonnet windscreen kicked in door caved in windows smashed. im covered by my insurance but im wondering whether itd be worth claiming. im pretty certain itd be a write off but im thinkin the payout would only really be the same amount as what my insurance premiuim would go up . . just after a bit of advice

cheers in advance

Id get a quote on how much to repair mate. Then id see..

[CampDavid]

Cunts

Could be repairable, though it'll cost a fair wack

Cunts

[mattyt]

its just i dont think my cars worth an awful lot so i was debatin stripping it selling the bits and then scrapping it that way i can downsize in car and not be payin to much in insurance

[Kniteforce]

F*ck*ng hell mate, thats harsh.... little b*stards!!

Things like this really annoy me- you spend all your time and money making something look good, and some little twats come along and ruin it for you. Sometimes it feels like there's no incentive owning something nice. I feel for ya :sad:

Are you gonna get a quote to see if its worth repairing, or is it def a write off?

Where did it happen, ie likely to be any CCTV etc?

[mattyt]

police have checked cctv and nothing . . no witnesses or anythin either. . it was just part of the worst weekend of my life . . . im almost certain the costs of reapiring it are guna be like 80% of the cars value so a write off seems the likely thing . . its just the decision with my insurance premium whether i claim of jus sell everything i can off it and keep my no claims

[NickB]

That is just harsh, the little bastards are getting out of control what i want to know is when the fuck are the police going to do anything about it every day iv been on here now theres been a new post about youths ruining our pride and joys....


Hope you get it sorted one way or another Matty keep us informed mate :y:

Makes you feel disgusted doesn't it, when you hear of youngsters getting up to this sort of thing. I wonder what the parents are doing tbh..

sorry to hear about that mate.

sorry to hear about that mate.

Agreed. Should be at home looking after their own kids.

[de4n0]

thats sucks, why do it its just stupidity to me, you can replace thew bonet, windscreen, doors etc but its the body work on the rest of the car that will cost you.

[mattyt]

Just heard from the garage . . its going through as a total loss . . bad times

[adamf0707]

fuckin bastards
hope it gets sorted mate :y:

[djflipsaxo]

pretty harsh tbh, if that happened to me id find the fuckers!
it does not matter how much your car is worth, its the princible imo.
whats youe excess? how much os your car valued at?

[Stickyjam]

Agreed. Should be at home looking after their own kids.

oooooo i see what you did there! clever!

[mattyt]

my excess was 200 and im not sure of the value of the car . . not very much i reckon lol

[JamesR]

was it parked on the street? invest in a garage. ;)

seriousley, i hardly ever park mine on the street, terrified f something like this happening.

[djflipsaxo]

my excess was 200 and im not sure of the value of the car . . not very much i reckon lol

well scrap value is at rock bottom.
you willl reach something like £100 imo for the whole car.
if you car was worth £500 atleast you would walk away with £300 after excess.
orless if you find who done it and sew/sue them

[mattyt]

im just worried bout my insurance premium now . . gettin quotes on 1.1's comin out at like 1200 tpft whereas i was payin 600 for my vtr

[djflipsaxo]

it should not be too much of a difference?
maybe do a quote on confused or somewhere and do it with 1 claim, see what it brings up for you

[steviee90]

that sucks man, i feel for you, you tried phonin up insurance companies? mite get it cheaper if u actually say to them what happened, dunno though, either way.... total shit... wee bastards like that should just get lined up n shot :)

[mattyt]

iv bin to about 7 companies now and 1200 is still the cheapest

[CHIP]

So many stories lately of people's Saxo's being vandalised. Really does annoy me. Why can't these people get a life!

Dont mean it funny pal, but if the repair is going to cost £1200 it's definetely a write off. You can pick up a VTR for £1200 lol. Not good news tbf.

[mattyt]

its defo a write off but 1200 is what my insurance is guna go up to even on a 1.1
