How do I prevent someone from vandalizing car?

Question

We've tried camera's, we've tried calling the police, we've tried talking to his parents. He keeps doing it. We can't catch him in the act so we don't have proof of him vandalizing her car. The video at night is not good enough. What can I do to stop this?

It's been happening for a long time and he strikes randomly. He does it at night or in the morning time. No witnesses. My sister wakes up to go to work and finds that her car is keyed, tires slashed, windows smashed, or lights smashed.

Please help!

I don't want my sister to hurt, worry and feel unsafe. It is also costing her money for repairs.

Answer 1

I had a friend that had a similar situation and after speaking with the police and nothing was done they went to the police department in person and spoke with a detective this time who in turn assigned an unmarked vehicle to watch the house for 4 days and they did catch the person.

Also at my business we were having problems with graffiti and I did the same thing as my friend and the kids were caught and I did file against them and the problems stopped.

Answer 2

put the car in the garage. if the space is already taken then put that person's car out on the street and put your sister's car in the garage.

Answer 3

Motion sensors car alarms boobytraps,when they go off beat a path to the boys house and wait for him to come home.Or hire someone to sleep in the car with a shotgun.Or beat h**l out of his daddy every time it happens,to get his attention.

Answer 4

why is it up to you to catch them, I thought the police done that. file a complaint

Answer 5

"garage" comes to mind......  private detective is expensive, man-traps are illegal, unfortunately, bloody big dog sounds good...PIR detector and remote flash  with film cameras & alarm whilst u sleep in car....

Answer 6

Keep the car in a locked garage.

Answer 7

Have a police detective go to the house of the suspect and claim that he has video and fingerprints of the damages.

If he comes forward he will go easy on him

You must be certain that this is the person.
