An 18-year-old Cranbourne North man was devastated after finding his car damaged at the front of his home, leaving a repair bill of $5000.
Blake Williams says his neighbours heard a noise about 9.30pm when it was suspected his purple Ford ute was hit in Crestway Drive, Cranbourne North, on Monday 9 October.
“Dad came out to move his car for the night, and he came in and woke me up and said ‘someone’s hit your car,’” Mr Williams said.
He said the rear right tail light and “all the back end” were damaged.
He said he saved up for two years to buy the car which was his first.
And having only third party insurance means Mr Williams could face paying for the damage which he says is about half the car’s value.
“I’ve been looking at every house to see if they have cameras. I want to find out who did it.”
“It’s the kind of person who shows who they are really. No respect. No morals either,” he said.
“It’s annoying. Hopefully, we can find them.”
Cranbourne police are investigating and appealing for witnesses. Anyone with information is urged to call Cranbourne police on 5991 0600.
