blonde poker forum

To cut a long story short at some time after 2am last night/this morning somebody threw something at my car and it has cracked my windscreen on the drivers side. Massive crack and will need replacing.
We had some mates over and they were just on their way home and saw it happen (my car was parked accross the road from my house about 2 doors down). One mate went to check the car was ok and it looked fine. We didn't cause any agro as the house the lads who did it ran into is a house of girls (we think students) and 10 lads filled with beer from watching the Froch fight confronting 3 lads who had had one too many snake bites didn't sound like the recipe for a healthy debate.
At that time i couldn't be bothered to waste my energy over it and thought i'd pop round this week and say i saw it happen, it's not gonna fly, we've all got cars on the road i'm sure you wouldn't be happy if it had happened to one of yours.
Today with frost off the windscreen melted i've found the crack and just want general ideas of what i should do. I don't expect to get any money out of it no matter what i do. I think i'm favouring the option of reporting it to the police and leaving it at that. Minimum effort and nothing will come of it but thats what i expected so...house gets warned and i have to make little effort.
Another option i've condsidered is going round explaing to the girls i saw it happen, windscreen needs replacing, if the lad that did it wants to sort it and pay for the new windscreen thats sound and i wouldn't get the police involved and that'd be the end of the matter and if he didn't then i'd be forced to get the police involved. More effort but more chance of getting some money??

Whats the best thing to do?

Give bolt a score and 8 stellas ... he will sort it !

if your fully comp it will be replaced free and not affect your no claims.

Well played to you for doing nothing at the time, no way I'd have let it go (unless so pissed I could barely see).

What Pokerfan says seems the least hassle option, I'd maybe still have a word with the girls just to let it be known you know what happened.

yeah obv you cant just say nothing.

Go round the girls house ... tell em what happened and blackmail them into giving you sexual favours in return for your silence.

LOL +1


I think you should go round and tell the girls exactly what you just said on here, about them being drunk and not wanting to cause fuss at the time when it would have done no good. Tell them you don't want to get the police and their landlord involved but will do if they don't get the boy to stump up the money within a week.

Add £50 to what it costs you at the mechanics for your inconvenience!

+1 ,failing that give me 10 bottles of stella and a baseball  bat. :)up

Wrong.You will have to pay your excess to get it replaced. I fitted windscreens for 15 years,and came across this situation many times. It might be worth knocking on the door and saying you saw what happened,and ask them to pay the excess or you will go to the police. If you're fully comp the excess will be around the £50/£75 mark.If you're only 3rd party it could be expensive depending on what car it is.

Oh yeah,do me a favour and don't use Autoglass.  ;)

 ;iagree;

This seems like a good plan.

+1.

Failing that send Amatay and the boys round.

u still have to pay something towards the windscreen even if u claim through insurance. at least i did a couple of months ago.

they're students?

I'll do it for free  ;D ;nemesis;

my bad,inlight of this new info get round there for  £100 and er what Kev said.

Will update later tonight. Nobody was in when i went earlier but just seen a car pull up (school boy mistake - i'd find it a little bit too much comedy if nothing comes of my complaint there's should get done as well and i could go out and say "yeh happening alot on the road at the moment") and them go inside so when i go to the gym i'll pop in. Insurance wise i won't lose my no claims but it will cost me £60.
Going to go over and ask for £95 to cover the cost of a new windscreen. If i don't hear back i'll contact the police etc.

+1..students....Blah at all of them.

I'd defo go round and have a word.

If they don't pay up, report them to the police. They won't be able to do anything but at least you'll have laid down a marker.

There was a similar problem in a block of flats I lived in - one flat of students whose window overlooked the carpark, rest of the block mostly twenties and thirties with proper jobs. My neighbour (6'4", worked as an engineer) went down one morning after a noisy party and discovered his car covered in chips that had obviously been chucked out the student window.

He went to have a word, and expressed his displeasure to the occupants. The conversation went along the lines

"It wasn't us"
"I know it was you and if it happens again I'm going to kick your @&*%&@* head in"

It didn't happen again  ;nemesis;  That works fine with a bunch of lads. When it's girls you'll need to be more subtle.

yep, add: "bitch"

One lad lives in the house...fml...no sexual favours from him thank you.
Conversation went something along the lines of....
Me: Saturday night somebody from your house threw something at my car and cracked my window
Him: we didn't have anyone round saturday night
Me: My mate saw it happen. They ran into your house.
Him: Oh...we did have 2 lads round.
Me: anyway they've cracked my windscreen
Him: what do you mean cracked?
Me: Come and look
Him: (at the crack) oh shit...
Me: Yeh so it's £95 to replace it. Giving them the opportunity to pay for it now and hear no more about it.
If not i'll have to contact the police and possibly send a complaint to your landlord
Him: I'll get on the blower and see if either admit to it. I'll let you know either way though. What happens if they both deny it?
Me: Well you've narrowed it down to 2 people for the police and it sounds like you've got both their numbers.
Him: oh..yeh...
Me: Anyway let me know by tomorrow or i'll go to the police.


If he doesn't come up trumps i'm gonna lay on the "well i'm disapointed, i mean where does it end? will peoples mates just be allowed to do this on the street and we'll all have to constantly shell out for new windows?"

Will keep you up to date.

They came round.
Both lads deny doing it. Both said they'd never do anything like that. They'd considered all chipping in for it but when the lads are so adamant they can't really afford it. Would have chipped in if they thought somebody was just covering because he didn't want to pay. They contacted the police and they recomended that they try and sort it with us as they were worried i'd retaliate.
They were nice about it but at the end of the day...
[ ] I'm getting some money
[ ] Getting no money makes me happy

Next up report it to the police and nothing happens, my mate has the hassle of making a statement and nothing will come of it.

get drunk and throw a bottle at their car

Tell them to stay sober next weekend and they'll be a good way towards the £95.

You should definitely report it to the police but the odds on them getting any sort of result are very low.

You are more likely to get some joy from talking to the landlord. Might be worth popping round to let them know your plans, and point out to them that post-uni they will likely be looking to rent elsewhere, and the first point of contact for a reference is the previous landlord.

why would you contact the landlord? the guy's done nothing, his mates did but he got in touch with them and got them to come round. tbf he's done everything you'd expect him to and now you want to grass to his landlord. what more do you expect either the guy or the landlord to do? unless of course the landlord's a windscreen repair man in which case call him

This made me giggle.

I don't get the grassing someone up to their landlord (or employer) bit...It's something I first came across when working in Scotland..a LL had problems with one of the guys working at the company I worked and therefore complained to them. Instead of just telling the guy to naff off, that's it's not their responsibility and that it has nothing to do with them they actually called the guy into the HR office....WTF?

Oi. I work for Autoglass! You should def use them. Seriously.

This whole situation is starting to piss me off, someone best smash someone elses windscreen pretty soon or i'm just gonna turn up and start smashing windscreens at random soon

Start a staking thread for your train fare bolt  ... I will chip in for def !

why, am i getting a helicopter there?

Four reasons.

Firstly, its an extra point of leverage. Maybe they've had other complaints and will bottle it when they realise they could get their lease terminated and pay up the £95.

Assuming it goes beyond that and they don't pay up...

Secondly, because the guys did it while they were visiting his premise. I'd say there was a moral obligation on the neighbour to get this sorted.

Thirdly, because the stronger the reaction this time, the less likelihood there is of it happening again. Their course could easily have another couple of years to run so they could be neighbours for quite a while.

Fourthly, because Josedinho already told them that's what he was thinking of doing so all he is doing is playing straight and making clear he isn't going to be messed around.

If they don't like it, well, fuck them. They are the ones with the idiot friends. I don't see how you can say he's done everything you'd expect him to do. First he denied having mates round. When that was exposed as a lie he basically phoned them, accepted their denial, shrugged his shoulders and said 'case closed'.

One man's grass is another man's law abiding citizen.

I've rented out a couple of flats in the past, and the contract terms these days are pretty draconian. For example in the contract I use, the following clause if breached is sufficient to allow the landlord to give notice to the tenant..

"12.1   The Tenant shall not (nor allow others to) cause nuisance or annoyance to the Landlord, other tenants or any neighbours."

I don't want any tenants who cause grief for the neighbours. it's bad for me, bad for the neighbours, and bad for prices. If I were the landlord in this case and it was a first offence I'd tell them if it happened again they were out, and I'd definitely pressure them to pay up for the damages.

fuck all that

throw a bottle at their car, just gimme the addres, i'll do it.

boldie will rob the gaff after

a think a slap was in order here, no way i see someone throw something at my car and do nothing. Mind you thats why i have a bind over for a minor incedent, which involved someone throwing a bottle at me.

fckin criminal!!!!

we dont want his type on here

BAN PLZ!!!!!!!

i didnt get a record. so im not a villain.
Vigilante's ftw

lol@ threatening to tell the guys landlord. Are you gonna find his mum & dad too and tell them?

Just keep banging on the door til you get your money. Doubt police would be too interested now as its been a few days.

good luck tho.

I got cautioned once when i was 15 and they called my parents, thats the extent of bolts involvement with the police!

I would like to say my involvment in the smashed window incident was precipitated by my quest for social revolution but the truth is it was a friday night and we were all drinking thunderbirds and some fit girl dared me to do it!

lol at this.

so a strong reaction to someone who hasn't done anything will make them less likely to do something in the future even though they didn't do anything this time? you don't think it might just piss them off a little bit?

if I was the tenant who has done nothing wrong and has made an effort to sort it out and you go running to grass to my landlord you'll probably find that your house windows are put through very soon

I haven't yet identified all their cars yet and if one of them were to be damaged i'm sure it would just be coincidence and nothing to do with this incident.

Is a bottle the best way to go? Bottle glass harder than windscreen glass? If the bottle smashes it makes noise and leaves it very obvious something deliberate has happened.

HAMMER FTMFW!!!!!!!!!

(if you hit it with a bottle you will cut your hand to shit)

though tbh if your drunk and shouting at the same time you're gonna look pretty hard anyway!

ball bearings FTW, that or a spark plug, dont fk about just do the window! ;)

There were extenuating circumstances.
I made a judgement call at the time that calming the situation rather than rolling out for a brawl would look better to the female company i was keeping.
[X] it was +ve women wise
[ ] it was +ve money wise

As I pointed out in my previous post, they have done something wrong. In fact they've already done enough wrong that in all likelihood they could legally be evicted.

fuckin hell sort it out mate, theyre NOT gona get evicted for maybe one of their friends mates or something might have thrown something at someones car!!!

If I owned the flat I'd want to be told.

they've done what wrong? other people did something then went into their house. when they found out about it they got the people responsible to come and see the victim. good luck with getting them evicted for that

I didn't say they would be evicted, I said legally they could be evicted. In a situation like this, the landlord is in a much better position to lean on the tenant than the police are.

It could be they are living in a slum and the owner won't give a shit, it could be it's a private landlord who doesn't like hassle and who will likely give them plenty grief, or it could be the property is managed by a professional agent who will have a standard procedure that might involve, for example, implementing more frequent inspection visits. After all, if you let people into your house who vandalise cars in the street, what are they doing to the property itself?

Josedinho wants his cash, and I'd say going through the landlord is as good a way as any of getting it.

As for the other stuff, smashing the windows, etc. might make you feel better but its not gonna get the money back.

They have done something wrong this time. That bit seems to pass you by. As I've said before I am a landlord and I'd want to know if this was going on in one of my places. Not everyone feels that way; I do.

You say they've made an 'effort' to sort it out. Doesn't sound like much effort to me. If your reaction involved wanting to put someone's windows in I'd just see that as confirmation it defo was your mates who did it. Birds of a feather, etc..

fuck all that bollox

go jump on their car!!!!!!!!

This is now my thread of the year,sorry bout your car but i'm in agony laughing at last couple pages,top top man bolt,now get to kip you nutter

div, did you miss the post where we found out that no-one that lives in the house did it?

This thread is brilliant. Keep the updates coming, and keep the comments coming Bolt, pmsl.

I googled bottles and eviction and got a lot of results for some girl named Kinga offa big brother.

Hope this helps.

Oi - where are my number plates??

Not likely to be many more updates. Enjoyed the thread though.
I'm reporting it to the police but not going to go to the landlord. I honestly don't think it was anyone at the house they just happen to have mates that are prats and decided not to come clean.

As soon as Bolt has recieved his $4k that he is owed from Flushy he's agreed to come up and sort out an appropriate response.

Looking back:
[ ] I handled it well
[X] Pelham boy knows about windscreens

Great thread Dewi :)up

I saw the post where the people who were at the house denied being involved. Not long after Jose had caught out the owner of the house lying about having people round. When your first exchange with someone involves them lying to your face I'd generally recommend not giving any credibility to anything else they tell you.

I'm sorry to hear Jose won't be getting any cash back. Smashing their car up in revenge isn't a good idea either as police like easy detections.

Finding a screw in your tyre is a real pain in the butt and one of those things that can easily be an unfortunate accident.

what about simply letting down their tyres?

No damage, but a pain to pump up when they are late for college!

Moral of the story, dont rent from Div, every day would be a lottery.  Will I be evicted today or not?  Was the Tv too loud, did I slam that door too hard?  Was I not polite enough to the postman?

Neighbours complaining because your tenants guests are damaging other people's property not quite comparable. Plus if they are damaging other peoples stuff, you can be sure they are not bothered about looking after your property.

Moral of the story 1, hope Boba doesn't buy a Buy to Let house near you, he'd be happy to let it to scum.

Moral of the story 2, Div won't give you a kicking like some people would under the circumstances.

Few months back the guy that does our windows came round, cleaned the windows got paid and i shut the door. I heard some noise outside but didn't think much of it till a neighbour came to the door and told me the window cleaner had put his ladders through my car window and leaving a nice dent in the boot.


to last week Debs comes in and says that she had taken the next door neighbour up for some things in the town and that my neighbour had pointed out the guy working behind the counter at victoria wine. Seeemingly Debs said something to the lad but he didn't seem to bothered as he now had another job.


I fancied some wine tonight so visited Victoria Wine, I picked up a couple of bottles and got some cigarettes from him. when he asked for the money i said i think you can pay for that and reminded him of the incident. he stood there and said nothing, his coworker asked what the issue was to which i explained the situation. after him initially trying to say he wasn't there he admitted that he didn't know why he ran away and didn't say. There was no way it was deliberate and if he had came to the door it would have been cool. Anyway I left with my wine and cigs and told him that that cost a hell of a lot less than it did to fix the car.


Wine was nice may go back for another.......might even pay for it next time...

lolololol

How old was this window cleaner/wine clerk?

Did you just extort some booze n fags off a poor wee kid?  :D

Moral of the story #2  Scott has no sense of humour

Moral of the story 4 - Boba can't count.  rotflmfao

#2 for me, if you're being technical your moral is #5  ;)
