Man caught on camera keying 100k Aston Martin

selous

Its presumed that a nice rich guy owns the car and not someone who will have the car scraper floating face down in a river by the weekend, after a 9k reward for info gets out. eh?
lets get sinister!!!

I wish i had an aston martin

delighted he was caught red handed.......dirty sly yoke!

The images are so clear there's no way he will get out of it. The noise in the video when he drags the key down the side, ouch.

Bet he never thought he'd see himself on the bbc news, this is a real case where karma gives someone their comeuppance!

48 years of age, would want to cop onto himself!

If someone can afford a nice car decadent or not, it's their own business, more power to them.

Given the fact they seem to average about 20 miles to the gallon, & would be in the top bracket of tax for engine size (which is around €1800 I think), t'would slowly suck you dry, I'd imagine (I've known people who had to ditch cars they got a deal on for reasons of running cost). Nothing as flash as one of these, mind you.

more like 15 mpg motorway and 5 mpg around town. 1809 euro pre co2 system and 2400+ after.

it pale compares to the purchase price and maintenance. could easily be a two grand for a set of tyres and a grand for pads and disks

Not being a car fan, I can't see the appeal meself. Then again I'd splash insane money on a different area entirely, had I it to hand, so tis not for me to judge.

What a waste of police time. It's a feckin scratch on a car for Christ sake.

Imagine going to the police.
"A car scratched? Not interested"
"But it cost £9,000 to repair"
"Sorry, not interested sir. It's a waste of out time"
"But I have a video of the man doing it, you can clearly see him"
"I think I've made myself clear sir, waste of time looking at it"

I remember passing one of those "enter the draw to win this fancy car" things and going pfff upkeep !!

Eh the dole in the UK is a fraction to what they offer here.. average between £57 & £73 per week. So it's an ASBO & insurance claim unfortunately

How do you know he's unemployed?

Possibly the case in Ireland but not usually the case in the UK.

So, man keys car. Man looks well-off.

Immediate reaction is "welfare sponge". Because god now, no good, law-abidin', taxpayer would ever be a rolling douchewagon. Nope, must be the filthy lower classes.

Unsure if this is a really bizarre blind spot that people in AH have, since you can pretty much bet on how long it takes for someone to spout off about it on any thread like this, or if there's just a couple of people who are tunnel-vision obsessed.

It was a joke, based on the oft-repeated story of welfare handing out buggies left right and centre.
