Go have a chat, maybe mention you haven't seen their car in a while... then tell them they're a bunch of lying twunts.

Any more info on these? I bought my S in December and was keyed twice in three weeks! One 'lighter' scratch down the rear quarter, which upon further inspection stretches from the drivers door! And the other is a LOT deeper over the passenger wheel arch (1-2 ft long). Unfortunately It's parked on the street, and I hate it! Wish I had a garage! If I caught the person in the act I think rage would probably kick in, as well as their head!

I park in on a quieter street now and have had no further problems in the last few months, which has led me getting them sorted, so dropped it off at the body shop this morning!

I'm still torn between two, either the BlackVue DR400G-HD which is very popular and has really good software/support but does suffer from overheating for some people, it the iTronics i-Pass ITB-100HD.

Both available for about £120 as a grey import...

Had a look at a few, and the ones you listed seem great! I'm looking for a cctv type, to keep an eye during the night. Are there any that can do this? Capable of capturing a nights worth of footage?

Either will happily do that and they only draw about 200mA, I think the Blackvue is the one to go for as its smaller and the software is more mature.

Blackvue comes with a 16gb micro SD card and the review is here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e49KuBR5r74

Thanks for that Spies, some good info there!

Maybe we should stop hijacking Mike_s2000's thread? Even though it is relevant! If you want to continue this feel free to message me and vice versa if that's okay?

Thanks again!

Sooooo? have you confronted/caught out those bastards?

I'm only so interested because this has happened to me but there were no obvious culprits and even after getting the council to review CCTV i was left with a inconclusive answer! So as long as someone with an S2k gets to nail someone else, i will be vicariously vindicated!
