I'm looking for some advice on a recent vandalism incident that happened to me. My car was vandalised outside my apartment. A guy in one of the apartments in my block invited a dodgy crowd around for a party after going to the pub. They got rowdy and started throwing things off the balcony and down onto the cars below. As a result my roof and bonnet are damaged to the tune of 2k. The guards came pretty pronto but the people who actually did the damage had legged it in the meantime. The party host (who rents the apartment) left a note on my car apologising and said he would pay for the damage. I gave him the estimates for the damage but that was two weeks ago and not a peep out of him since. He has been evicted in the meantime and doesn't return my calls. The guards say that unless they have the names and addresses of the people who actually did the damage there's not much they can do.
That leaves me to claim from my insurance, but my no-claims bonus will be effected. Should I just chalk it down to bad experience or is it worth looking into small claims court? Any thoughts appreciated...
