3 scroats vandalised Shikara this evening. I have it on film and they will pay.

I am so cross. It was three lads and I have a clear picture of them on the CCTV, so they will get caught. They have smashed the windscreen using a catapult. grrrrrrrrrr
 
Barstewards!

I think most of us know what it's like to have as boat vandalised or stolen from, so can sympathise /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif But that is severe!

My lovely Binliner has just had her new outdrive trim system fitted along with a few other parts thanks to these scroats /forums/images/graemlins/ooo.gif Unfortunately crime is universal, and cannot be left in the UK when I go over, unlike most other things I dislike about this country.
 
They did it:

At least I have photos. A young lad smashed the bridge lights some time ago. When he saw the CCTV he cried and was repentant - enough for me, he saw he was wrong. These lads have smashed my windscreen and it is not a trivial problem.

I will see how insurance works and get the window fixed.

I was impressed by the police last time so I will give them a few weeks to solve it

I know which school they go to if the police do not solve it. And I think they are from good families.
 
p.s. what makes me sad is that Geoff was on that mooring last weekend. I asked him to move to the front of the island for peace and quiet... if that had happened to him I would have been distraught. And violent. And then who would have been in the wrong, legally?
 
Very cheap - and this is what annoys me about the local council. They quote "it costs £50k to run a camera". Bollocks. Chuckaduck has a system that is commercial but is a fraction of that price... and proven. I use a low spec, obsolete PC with remote HD (in case someone breaks into the shed and thinks they've stolen everything). The quality is high, the technology is basic (but more advanced than the council can understand), and, as proved here... it works.
 
Really wish you the best of luck in following this up, it would be a welcome change to get a bit of justice - I know they're kids, but they know what they're doing is wrong, so that's no excuse.

Can you name the camera type pls ? That is complete vindication for the use of CCTV.

I got it from these guys . The link is to the current version of the camera I use. It is connected to the PC via a Geovision card, which can handle up to four cameras and also give you live streaming on the web.

Sorry to hear about the damage /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Not from your part of the world, but if you can identify them could you take civil action against them / the parents for the damage caused?

Appreciate that Police nicking them would be nice, but IMO hitting folk in the pocket works very well for thinking twice in the future........at the very least put them to expense and aggro of their own lawyer.....

Just a thought.......
 
Red T shirt is Dean Loveridge from Bishop Wand School. - I have it on good authority! /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif

Wouldn't hurt to send this pic and others if you have them to Bishop Wand
