IMHO it’s too subtle for mindless vandalism…knife through the roof, keying the paint etc are those hallmarks…

Looks like someone mistook the cables for the brake lines….. :tumbleweed:
Alas my thoughts exactly. :(
That must be worrying for you in addition to the costs involved. Hope things work out

Absolutely awful, I cannot understand what some people are capable of. Seems like pure envy to me.

Where was the car at the time, ie garaged, at home, away etc?

This is pure envy by person or persons that have a grudge against anyone having something better than they have. If space underneath is tight then they would need to jack up the car, perhaps there is footage of a car nearby. Or they were quite small like a teenager or thin adult. Anyone in your area fitting this description that comes to mind. I don’t want to be scary but this may happen again to you or your neighbours, I think the Police aught to take this more seriously. Can’t believe there are twats like this walking the streets, feel very sorry for you. :headbang: but on the upside, you do have a better car than me :D

Damn Ori that's nasty, sorry to see this... :(

Agree with MikeyH tbh, mindless scum jealous of others with nice things. I think they've just dropped on the ground and snipped whatever they could get at quickly then legged it. No point going into what they deserve, it's a Sunday.... :x

I would go for snipping something of theirs off, eye for an eye.

Hell yes.....too quick...I'd say snip their fingers off but then we'd have to pay to keep them on benefits, well a lot more than were paying now to them.... :x

Won’t comment on dash and cctv as police are investigating.

Car all repaired is at least making me happy. Cost was high, but could have been worse.

Great news :thumbsup:

May be worth investing in another camera if you park it outside when at home for peace of mind.

Hope that's the last of the mindless vandalism.
