Bloody typical Gardai, not bothering to do anything without the neccessary proof.

What exactly do you think that the Gardaí could reasonably do in a case such as this?

"Fairly sure" with no hard evidence or proof seems like an oxymoron to me. Strong suspicion might be more accurate?

being fairly sure is not good enough how can you 100% say it was X, Y who did it.Unless you have a witness or a video im afraid you are wasting your time.

well they could have a chat with the person the op thinks may have done it, ask about there whereabouts at the approx time it happend ect...check the area for any cameras and so on.
dont think its going to happen though.

Proper order that the Gardaí don't go hassling people unnecessarily like this! Why should they do that when, by his/her own admission, all the original poster has is a strong suspicion and absolutely no evidence/proof?!

100% agree - if the OP could even say to the Gardai that the person who he suspects had made some sort of threat to his person or property, implied or real, by word or action, then this might be reason for an officer to make a quick housecall to let that person know they are being watched, but without this or any other hard evidence, they will be forced to dismiss the OP's beliefs as speculation, even if they have sympathy for what has happened.

sullyck the person you suspect, how well do you know that person? Would you be in a position to be talking to the person and say about your car door being damaged and that you have a fair idea who did it and say that you were very surprised and see whats the reaction? These low lifes that do these things, its just so annoying seeing them slink away, happening every day.

guess personal property getting damaged is not as improtant as it used to be. Not the first time going to the gardai and knowing that it was a waste of time. On reflection and in a more calm frame of mind accusing anybody without proof is crazy an i apoligze. On the other hand why should i try to find out who did this criminal act. Is this not the gaurds job. I work hard pay my taxes just feel left down. Deadwood and Clubman i dont think ye would be so clever if it was yere property was damaged.

Nobody said that it was unimportant and I would be pretty sure that the Gardaí would not take that view either. But, as I have already said - what on earth do you expect them to do in the absence of any witnesses to or evidence about what actually happened? Door to door enquiries or something?

Why exactly are you fairly sure that a particular individual (?) did this and did you mention this to the Gardaí?

I don't know what you're on about. But as usual if you don't like receiving a variety of opinions on your issue then perhaps you should not post on a public discussion forum?

so what view do you think they are taking now?

I sympathise with you, Sullyck. I've had cars vandalised 4 times, had suspicions a few times but no proof. Reported 1 and didn't expect them to do anything because there was no proof!!
If you think there's some evidence, there's nothing to stop you asking for CCTV etc., or a witness to go to the guards (or pass on their name), is there?
I think you may have phrased your first post a little better. You've obviously had a previous bad experience with the gardai.

Theres only one way to solve this and thats to catch them in the act.Get yourself a security/spy camera,they are not that expensive.

I was in same boat, it was X-boyfriend of the girl that i was going with, punctured my tire once, put a big screw under my car tire next time and when i drove my car next day, it got punctured, i had received threat calls from him many times and i reported everything to gardi but same useless >>>>>>>, and surprising it was me ended up in garda station for questioning when He was stabed "IN THE LEG" and i had nothing to do with it,

No body would stab other person IN
