My active hybrid 3 was targeted and keyed this weekend.

I now have have a 'designer' key scratch around the car with the odd added score in the paint work 'for flair'.The vandal even kindly applied deep scores to my bonnet, boot, windscreen and side windows.

Yep it's a real good job done😡

Can anyone advise a camera security system that would record as much data around the car as possible?

I am concerned that the vandal may strike again.

Gutted.

Feeling for you Buddy. The ignorent sensless morons that do this sort of thing need to be set on fire.

Maplins seem to sell a lot of the security camera gear for what looks like reasonable prices. I havent any experience of using this stuff though.

Keep your eye out on eBuyer. I receive their daily offers email. They usually run a number of items on special offer every 24 hours. I noticed the other day they had a 2 camera system plus receiver with 500GB HDD for about £100. My next door neighbour had some issues recently and our drives are parallel to one another and we've been in conversation as to whether we get some cameras to cover each of our drives. I may consider it more once I have my 320D.

I do feel for you though, a previous partner of my sister had his car paint strippered by an ex-partner of his and it isn't a nice thing to see or have done to you. Hope you get it sorted and catch the culprit.

Estimate for repair is over £4,000 and the car will be off the road for 2 weeks...

Thank god for insurance!

Thanks for your advice, I'll check them out. :)

Thank god for insurance, but the irritating thing is your premium may rise due to claiming for this, which isn't fair.

Do you have any idea who the perpetrator is?

Hi Janey,

Sorry to resurrect an this thread. I mentioned that eBuyer had a camera system on their daily offers. Well it's back. It should be £208 but it's down to £124.99. Looks a great bit of kit, here's the link.

A "can cam" is waterproof, battery powered, standalone and under £100.

Surprisingly good for the money...
