Road Rage Vandalism - call the cops or go vigilante?

[Stanios]

Heya fellas just had my van deliberately dented on the way back from work round my area

Was driving uphill there was bottleneck up ahead I stopped to let a few cars down. First of which was a new bmw3 a young man wearing a typical of the area baseball cap with an air typical to a young man driving a flash new bmw was approaching. Despite ample space he pointed for me to move which I did reluctantly.
So he drives up and rolls his window down starts saying "you got nuff room there yea" I said to him "you are ok just drive on" he gives me a dirty look says "if you wasnt such an obvious undercover cop .. I would **** you up"
I paid no attention to that amusing remark but then he drives a yard forward gets his fist out, pummels on my van then speeds off.

I got a dashcam with audio. Looked at the footage I can see his plate, his face, hear him talking hear him banging on my van. The dent is small but its a brand new transit connect that not got 3k miles on it yet.

What to do? Im sure he is local I could find him and his car myself. Or should I report him to police?

Another day in Croydon...



Get him arrested if you've got the evidence. Bloke sounds like a total pleb.

Given the fact I was punched through my van window a couple of weeks ago for apparently cutting the guy up which was something and nothing. Got out to realise the bloke had 2 young kids in the car and I was in a company van and he was crapping himself, I decided to go the rozzer route and basically their solution is to tell him off so from past experience I will be dealing things my own way in future. I also got a plate and have found him so the upper hand is mine now!

 

[Stanios]

what I really want is for the cops to check his insurance and license. Im 99% sure thats not his car, if it is he is a drug dealer. Either way he would be in big **** with the law

Both, repots to cops, then wait 6 months for revenge.

Wasting your time with the cops mate, buy yourself a hoodie and a bottle of Dam Busters, that`s all I`m saying.

If you are going to the rozzers go now, not in a couple of days

Might as well go to the police and give them all the evidence - but keep a copy of the video for yourself.
When you watch what goes on in any of those cop chase programmes, the criminals gets usually off with the crime or a slap on the wrist small fine or order.

 

[townfanjon]

you could try putting his cars pic and reg on facebook and ask for a pm with address , you maybe supprised at the responce nobody likes shi@'s like him.

I have seen this happen a few times around here already this year

This. It might make life a bit uncomfortable for him for a bit. You might even get insurance details from the police. But wait long enough so that nobody would suspect you then have a clumsy slip whilst holding a bottle of nitromors right next to his flash car.. Ooops...

 

[townfanjon]

Tesco bag full of nitromoors left in the middle of his roof , oh my god what a bloody mess that leaves.

When I was in the motor trade this was done to a lad I used to know , I ended up putting the mess right , it cost thousands . He always said it was something to do with a burd.

Dont waste your time with the cops. Even if he had no license or insurance it wouldnt even be a slap on the wrist.
