A driver who has just changed company to work with us has had his own car badly damaged as well with all the windows put through and various dents on the car.

Smashing car windows is very quiet if you know what tools to use, spring-loaded centre punch, bus emergency window hammer, any sharp pointed object.

Hmmm....Where were you when all this was happening? You seem to have acquired some off the radar knowledge

Some of you may remember a post from a few months ago when I mentioned about one of our cars having it's tyres slashed..........TWICE! Since then we also had a window put through on another car. This week there have been some other attacks on taxis and associated vehicles in the town, thou not mine this time. One has had the back window put through and another car has had all 4 tyres slashed with what would appear to be a similar tool to the one used on our tyres. A driver who has just changed company to work with us has had his own car badly damaged as well with all the windows put through and various dents on the car.
Although there is no direct proof as to who is carrying out this damage, there is one factor that seems to be consistent. All the victims have upset one certain company in the town.

As an aside...what is plod doing about it?

yeah right he's going to drive his bus up from kent to melton to carry out criminal damage on vehicles and drivers he's never seen or met before wakey wakey John or are all these moaning minnies creating bad press giving you sleepless nights !

compound.....gates.......doberman

Apart from one, all the attacks have been outside drivers homes. The exception was the one that had the most damage last week. This was parked where very few people knew it was there because it was having some engine work done at the time. We all know who is responsible for the damage but there is no actual evidence.

I think that it is fair to say that most of us know who likes, or who does not like us, which then comes down to who is really vindictive enough to take that extra step. In many cases a simple (general) conversation to that person letting them know what has happened/have they seen anything...and then dropping into the conversation ( a whispered keep it to yourself ) we will catch this bleep, because will will be setting a cam trap....see what comes from that!

Opportunistic thugs attempting to steal a van got more than they bargained for when they prised open the doors and were faced with a team of heavily-armed SAS officers.
The four soldiers were taking part in late night military training on a council estate in Manchester when the bungling teenagers tried their luck.
The boys threw open the doors to find the men in full SAS gear with machine guns, pistols and live ammunition.
According to a source, one of the team was taking a break, another keeping log, one was on radio duty and the final soldier was watching a practice target in the counter-terrorism exercise.
A source told The Sun: 'They didn't want to move for fear of ruining the exercise and hope the gang would pass them by.
'The lads decided they would teach them a lesson if they did get into their van, which is exactly what happened.
'Those idiots probably still don't have any idea who they were messing with - but it hopefully made them think twice about doing that to anyone else again.'

They give out crime numbers. Without any forensic evidence they wont do anything.
