My brand new £19,000 Vauxhall was vandalised with words ‘ginger’ & ‘greed’ scrawled on it – I’m baffled and furious

Emily - who says she has brown hair not ginger - is now going to have to fork out thousands of pounds in repairs for her brand new £19k motor.

As a result of the incident, the nursery worker was unable to drive to her job due to the obscenities and has been left feeling scared in her own home.

Emily suspects the vandal struck on Wednesday, March 16 sometime between 7-9pm in the evening.

She said: "No one noticed anything. I came home from work as normal and parked before going into my house and going about my normal business.

"One of my neighbours went to the gym at 7pm and then when they came back at 9pm they saw that it had been trashed.

"I didn't know until the morning after. They didn't knock the door because it was late and there was nothing we could do."

She added: "Another neighbour came over to let me know in the morning. There has been a few parking issues in the area and one car has been there for a year.

"So we think it could be a case of mistaken identity."

Emily has been left feeling worried and unsafe from the incident.

She said: "I was shocked that someone could do something like that. Even if you have issues with someone you don't do that.

"My car is brand new - only three months old - and they wrote 'greed' across the other side.

I have taken it to three different people but the scratches are so deep it will need to be resprayed.

"I scrubbed the graffiti off with my dad's help. I work in a nursery so couldn't drive it there as it is too inappropriate. We're looking at thousands of pounds to fix the damage."

"The police are aware of it and will send community support out. On that night someone tried the door too to try and get in.
