As the thread title goes, I could not believe my eyes when a 70 year old maliciously scratched my car this evening. I was sitting in the car with my DD who is 10 months while waiting for my DS who is four who was at football practise. This granny was walking her dog and I thought it strange that she was walking so close to my car when there was so much space. I didnt think anything of it until I saw her peering into my car (passenger door, I was sitting in the front). I initially thought she was going to open my car door and nick something but she wanted to see if there was anyone in the car before getting her keys out of her pocket and deeply scratching my whole passenger door.
I opened my car door, saw the scratch and immediately confronted her on her actions. Her response was that I was parked on a pavement (which I wasnt) so that is why she had scratched my car. I then told her that was rubbish as we cant all go around breaking the law and taking it into our own hands because we dont like something. Well basically she admitted doing it and I just called the police because she was getting mouthy. Instead of just apologising for her actions she was developing a serious attitude. Anway to cut a long story short she was given an on the spot fine and cautioned. My insurance company will also be recovering all the money they will spend fixing my car from her.
On one hand I feel that maybe for her those were the first signs of an illness given her age, but then I counteract that with the notion that she couldnt even be bothered to apologise and saw nothing wrong with her actions. To say I was royally pissed off is an understatement. Her son who had now turned up with her husband seemed to think that I had made it up and I just politely reminded them that their mum was caught red handed, she admitted it to the police and the call handler when I dialled 999 would surely have a record of the conversation and they would be able to hear her mouthing off. Sorry its long guys, I just really had to vent
