    Neighbour keys Discovery 3

    See this bloke's home security footage of a neighbour coming out of his house across the road and keying his Discovery 3.

    The UK police won't even investigate.

    What's to investigate? Pretty obvious to me. Sometimes Karma needs a hand

    He doesn't look like the sort of person who would vandalise a vehicle....he's your "everyday middle-aged neighbour" sort of bloke. Just goes to show doesn't it.

    Why on earth would someone do something like that

    I just read the Disco3 thread, and it doesn't yet say what the police response is. They have only just visited the victim.

    My question is why he doesn't report the whole thing to his insurer as well. Usually when you can supply the details (and in this case, video evidence) of the responsible party for any damage, then it can be a no-fault claim. The insurer then has the option of pursuing the other party which, if they are a particularly nasty insurer, could be a lot worse for the guilty party than the anything the cops might do. Legal expenses from an insurance company could send him broke in short order.

    No excuse for keying a car... whatever the other side of the story though.

    I once saw a new black D3 in Birmingham UK, where someone, methodically had written , with a key on every panel, stuff like enviromental terrorist and so on.

    The mind boggles. A few years ago someone decided to key the entire side of my Falcon - from the front indicators to the rear indicators and as if that wasn't enough, key a big swirl on the bonnet too.

    As far as I know it wasn't personal, just some bored kids having 'fun'.

    I'm having a very Hard Time Understanding this "Concept"

    My mate who lives in syndey inner sydney suburb of Marrickvile had his Pootrol labelled an " Environmental Disaster " of a Vehilce.

    but this should be no reason for anyone to Key his car.
