Oh sure, welcome to the club. You can also have a cute decoration like me. Just tape it up with some cardboard from a pizza box, that's the new style.

The landlord still hasn't fixed mine and I asked about it 2 days ago.

He hasn't seen me angry yet but his time is coming.

I should take a picture but my camera batteries are dead.

Thanks

Didn't I tell you AG? It has been weeks now? What a prick.

Wow sorry John. At least the glass is still in there so it won't be as hard to keep the cold air out when you 'patch it' or do the pizzabox design recommended by AG.

What, pray tell is Bonfire Night about?

Thanks

The Fawkes family are still alive, well, and flourishing and living in the north of England, and the oldest son of each generation of the family is still called Guy.

Guy Fawkes was a doughnut.

He had a great plan and he managed to get himself to live under the houses of parlement, then he went and TOLD EVERYONE what he gonna do! so naturally he got caught!

If he would have just kept his mouth shut he would have gotten away with it.

Thanks

  Thanks for the empathy, guys. Thankfully, it's a double-glazed unit so it's only the outside pane that's damaged.
  
  I phoned the landlord's offices to report the damage. They said "We need you to get a crime number, so that we can claim this on our insurance".
  
  So I had to phone the police non-emergency number to report the window as criminal damage and get a crime number. The operator told me that he was sending officers to my house to check that the window had been deliberately damaged...
  
  Two police officers came, looked at the window, confirmed that it had been deliberately attacked and then had to fill in a two-page form about the breakage. Unbelievable bureaucracy.
  
  So I got my crime number, passed it on to the housing association, they contacted the glazier and he came out tonight to measure the size of the window. Apparently, they'll return to fix the window in one week's time.
  
  We shall see.
  
  Thanks

Now I think about it I'm getting really pissed off
The weathers been nice lately, highs in the 70s, so it hasn't bothered me too much but now it's going to get cold and I have a window made out of a pizza box I think it's been about 2 weeks which is enough time to get someone to fix it. And my heat doesn't work except for the emergency heat And I paid my rent this month, I shouldn't have done that. 2 days ago I asked them about it and haven't heard back.

They are about to see me get mad, and that's an experience that frightens ppl. Let me tell you, crazy beats bad, every time!

I am yet again looking for another place to move. NO noisy upstairs ppl, window in tact, and heat and works

The Night of Broken Glass, or Kristallnacht, is an annual tradition that began in Nazi Germany on November 9-10, 1938 and spread worldwide. I guess it is starting a little early this year.

You are welcome. On the night of November 9, 1938, violence against Jews broke out all across German-controlled countries. It was set off by Hitler's anger over the assassination of a German official in Paris at the hands of a Jewish teenager. It was carefully organized by German propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels and other Nazis. In two days, over 1,000 synagogues were burned, 7,000 Jewish businesses were trashed and looted, dozens of Jewish people were killed, and Jewish cemeteries, hospitals, schools, and homes were looted while police and fire brigades stood by. It became known as Kristallnacht, the "Night of Broken Glass," for the shattered glass from the store windows that littered the streets all over occupied Europe.

To the OP - If you have any idea who might have been responsable for smashing your window, smash theirs!

If they confront you then it is obvious that they done it otherwise they would think the attack was random and not one of revenge.

Deny that you done it, if it turns out that it wasnt them and you were wrong then you can just claim "hey it must of been the same idiots that done my window".

Muuhahaha...

Thanks

Well 8 days later, it's fixed. The guy came this morning and spent all of 15 minutes fitting a new sealed unit. He even replaced it with toughened glass.

How about you, AnnoyedGirl? Any progress with your landlord?

Thanks

No progress with that landlord and I've already found a townhouse.

Those two windows have the same modus operandi; the bottom panes were broken. That could only mean one thing - the southside gangs. Other gangs always aim higher - breaking only the top panes of windows. And southside gangs are not hard to find because they wear white T shirts and jeans. So if you see anyone that fits that description kick them in the ass for me too, because the bottom pane of my window was broken about two years ago, and never did get fixed.

We don't have organised gangs in the north-east of England -- just bored retards with nothing better to do than cause trouble. They usually look something like this...
