Yesterday afternoon one of the neighbours kids sat on my Motorbike and scratched the fairing, I only noticed him out of the window and went out and asked him not to sit on it without asking.

I then noticed the scratch and told him this was why he had to ask, he obviously told his Dad as he came over to have a look and apologised and offered to pay for it (£298) I told him it was fine as I have a spare I paid peanuts for off e bay so he did not have to pay, just had a call off another neighbour saying this Bloke has been telling all who will listen I shouldn't be leaving my Bike on the drive as it's asking for it !

He hasn't got to pay anything and he should be talking to his Son and not my neighbours, beggers belief !

Take the money. He had his chance to be reasonable about it, now he should know what the financial implications are of not controlling his offspring properly.

When I was about 15 yrs old my little sister (6 yrs old) came into the house saying a boy (about 10 years old) from down the street was bullying her again. Half joking I replied "if he does it again go into the shed get a piece of wood and give him a crack with it, he`ll soon get the message", and she went back out to play. About 10 mins after she had returned home, there was a knock at the door. When I opened the door I was confronted with the boy accompanied by his father, who was complaining most profusely about his son being hit over the head by my little sister with a chunk of wood. At this point my little sister appeared from behind my legs and said. "Shall I go and get the piece of wood again *********" ? Father and son made a swift exit from our doorstep never to return. Priceless.

Btw "little sis" never got bullied again.

Perth:

I had a similar experience when my daughter was in Foundation. A little boy repeatedly banged her head against a wall on successive days so I told her to put her heard leather school shoes on and kick me in the shin. Hard.

Then I told her that if he did it again that's what she had to do.

A few days later I was called in to the head's office like a naughty schoolboy and told that if my daughter kicked this boy again she may be removed from the school. I told the dozy bint that she kicked him for a reason and that I'd told her to do it, to which she replied that the school does not condone violence of any description and that's when I stood up and said, "Tell that to the parents of the boy who started all this," and walked out.

The boy never went near my daughter again after that.

I had to see my daughters teacher when she was 5 because she had bitten a boy 2 years older

She had never bitten anyone ever so I asked why she had done it

The boy was holding her in some sort of headlock and biting him was the only way she could get him to let go

I told her if he did it again to bite him even harder next time

unreal ur neighbour has such a narrow minded outlook!! why shouldnt you be able to leave your bike where the hell you want with out fear of kids climbing all over it . yes kids will be kids and curious but im afraid now have lil regard for other people property .think its the "everythings disposable/replacable " mentality . alot (not all) are so blase' about having exspensive stuff tvs,mobiles ,games consols,laptops ect ect list is endless .they are so use to these things being replaced or upgraded to the next best thing they have lil concept of looking after these luxuries and the monitary value . little wonder they are then clueless of how to treat other peoples belongings! my arse would of been grounded till i was pension age had i been climbing on a neighbours bike ,let alot causing damage to it !!!

rather a slap in the face for you after being so unbelievably understanding !! you can bet had roles been reversed and you broke the lads i-pod you would of had to pay for it!in future just get them to pay for damage . if you had good fortune to pick up the part cheap then e bay then thats beside the point . maybe next time parent and lad would be thinking twice about respecting others peoples property or keeping well away from it as they should of in first place !!

At least the guy had the decency to come and apologise and offer to pay for the damage - lots would not.

have the same problem here, we just bought a new car but the neighbours insist on letting their young boy ride his bike in the small private car park. Needless to say the rear of the car has suffered a good few scratches over the last few weeks. Can't be bothered with the hassle of having a moan as the kid is disabled and nowhere else to play, but the parents really should take a bit more notice I think.

As the bike was parked on Your drive, the parent of the child needs to learn that he could, if you had chosen, have been held responsible, but due to your kind nature, he was not held accountable!

Now that he has turned out to become a whinging tosser about it, I would suggest a bill for the repairs might make him A) control his child a little better and B) control his mouth a little better!

What if the bike had fallen over with the child climbing on it and injured him, would he have been as understanding, offering to pay damages or suing the ass off you?

Happened to my ex, a neighbours kid opened the drive gates to climb upon his bike, tipped it over, was pinned under it and I had to lift the (heavy, BMW tourer) bike off him.

I got a mouthful of abuse from the child's mother until I pointed out he was out without her care and supervision, entered a private drive, damaged himself as well as the bike and if she didn't shut her mouth I was going

to ram the bill for repairs where the sun didn't shine and wrap what was left of the pannier storage box round her head.

Sometimes it pays to be as diplomatic as your neighbours!

I agree make him pay for the damage even if you give the money to help the hero's or behind the bar at your local pub.

Kids and the parents need to under that they can't just do what they want to other people pride and joy. ( Yes I have 2 kids myself)and a big fan of motor bikes.

I remember when living in Germany I had to have insurance for my kids, just in case they caused a serious rta or as my son did,a minor mishap.

He scraped my pals new BMW car with the handlebar of his trike when careening down a hill on a campsite we were all staying at. No hassles no rows and all remained friends thanks to a simple insurance cover for my two little darlings. xxxxx

"what business is it of anybodys what you leave in your drive,no one has the right,child, adult or otherwise to vandalise your proerty,no matter where you leave it"

I think Kev realised it was not intentional. Blimey put yourself a bit in the place of the kid. What a temptation.

You know one thing I loved about living in a "less-developed" country was that people loved children so well.

My old headmistress used to tell us "Never put a rope in a blind man's path." She was so right.
