One of Newburys finest came roaring round the road by the 'Local' off license off St Johns last night and ploughed straight into a car that was parked.

Unfortuantely the car sustained more damage than the perpetrator who appeared to be relatively unscathed after he had dusted himself down. The car had two big dents in it though by the near front wing.

Needless to say he did not leave his details but just cycled off. So if its your car you now know what happened to it. sad.gif

Similar thing happened to me in Kingsclere about three years ago - I had just climbed into my car and looked up in time to see a youth cycling full pelt, head down, towards me. Only had time to shout and shut the door quickly before he crashed into the bonnet. He was unable to account for his actions - must have been on a different planet. After my initial anger subsided, I was more concerned about him and, as in the case described above, he was uninjured although the bike was a bit bent . Damage to my car amounted to a scratch which polished out and a broken wing mirror. Ho hum...

Sorry to read certain of you have had no response from Police calls.

I've been lucky in that case because on the two occasions I've called them their response has been very swift.

I have had quite a few occasions when I've called the police and they've never came. On one occasion I witness a crime in progress.

Perhaps you're a known troublemaker laugh.gif

Seriously, my experience has been the same as Bill1. When I discovered one morning my garage had been broken into overnight and someone had gone through my car looking in all the obvious places for keys (needless to say, I now keep the car locked inside my locked garage), I called the non-emergency line at Kidlington where they took down all the details. A day or so later a PCSO turned up to check things out. I also had a follow up letter from Victim Support in case I needed counselling after my traumatic experience (I imagine in more serious cases some people might need this, so I shouldn't make light of this).

Since you winessed a crime in progress, I assume you dialled 999?
