You need to phone plod,it will be recorded as a crime.If it happens regularly 3 or 4) then they should be bothered to set up a camera.Dont spend any money its up to them.If they still dont do anything make complaint.Not sure where you live but if its a high crime are you my have to stamp your feet a bit.

Well, some poncy lawyer (funded by your tax payments) would argue that while carrying out his 'creative pastime' as a vandal, he has a right to do so in privacy just like a mother giving birth. By suggesting that the vandal has no rights to privacy, you must also be wanting to have mothers in labor forced to be filmed in this most intimate moment. How callous you are!
He might add that being photographed was provocation as the car owner not only owned a nice car, but also owned a digital camera and therefore the poor vandal was being baited by the evil capitalist whose wealth must have come from exploiting the working class. Thus, the vandal was actually fighting for social equality.

What police force is it, my mate had the same thing and our coppers came out and put cameras in and caught the turd, you have to nag the neighbourhood police or whatever theyre called in your area, it does require a RIPA authorisation so it may be that it was a senior officer who couldnt be arsed not the plod as its the senior bloke who has to give the authorisation and its a fair amount of paperwork.
