28.06.10: Yobs attack our Fiesta

Advert

Time 5:12 pm, June 28, 2010

photoFANTASTIC – as if my Monday morning mood couldn’t get any worse, I found this in the gutter as I walked to work…

We’d parked our 911 for 2011 Ford Fiesta outside the office over the weekend and I’ve just turned up to find some low life piece of toilet scum has done this.

Now I know we’re all a little bit depressed about the football – yes England were about as good as my Sunday league team, and yes they are totally and utterly inept too – but there’s no need for this surely?


It’s quite clear some idiot has taken a boot to the wing mirror – it’s certainly not a car that’s swiped it off as the glass, pictured, was found the opposite way to the flow of traffic down a one-way street.

It probably serves me right for leaving the car at work when England were playing their worst football for years and a tie against the Germans was obviously going to be lost – but come on! Give us a break please…

I should have put a sign in it that said ‘Please leave me alone – I’m being sold for charity’. Hang on, what am I thinking? These backward morons probably can’t read… These are the kind of people that sign their name on housing benefit forms with an ‘X’.


Now I know how you guys feel when some baseball-cap wearing, cider-drinking inbred monkey boy has taken a dislike to your forecourt frontage and decided to redecorate your cars with bricks. Utter scum.

The plan today was to re-write the advert for the Fiesta on Auto Trader and lower the price to make it look more attractive – but I think now I’ll be working out how to fix the mirror. 

Any suggestions welcome? Not sure whether to get a replacement from a breakers or to get it fixed somewhere else.

Oh well, we live and learn from our mistakes I suppose – perhaps the village where we’re based isn’t quite as pleasant as I’d thought.

Might have to start a ‘For The Greater Good’ campaign like off of Hot Fuzz
