Victims of car crime - should it be reported to the police?


Recommended Posts

I guess in the olden days when a crime was commited, the villian was dealt some good old fashioned pain as punishment, which range from a clip round the ear for things such as swearing to death by hanging for more serious crimes.

 

However, in 2011, a victim of car crime has a very tricky problem. Lets pretend someone has thrown a brick through your windscreen, and then the villians dog has been allowed to climb onto the car roof and poop.

 

1) if you report it to the police

Your area then becomes known as a car crime hot spot - which, if if too many other people in the area are a victim of car crime the insurance premiums rocket, or worse still you are unable to insure your car, due to your post code.

 

2) YOu report it to the insurance

YOu get hammered the following year with increased insurance premiums. Again, if too many others in the area are victims of car crime, the insurance for all in that area goes up.

 

So where does your law abiding taxpayer turn to for help, when they are victims of car crime?
