Wandered outside for a drive out this morning to be met by this...  Its been windy but cant find anything thats been blown into it so only leaves vandalism really (i don't live in the greatest neighborhood atm) and the crater suggests its been struck with something. Worst thing is its parked next to my bedroom window and i didnt hear a thing. Luckily insurance are covering it by its a 60 quid excess first and that would normally buy 2 months food (student). To say I'm peed off is an understatement, seems like the only follow up il get is a customer service call from the police... It is a £150 car and its never cost me more than tax and a test fee before  but ive nothing else roadworthy. Any other amatuer csi buffs? My housemate reckons someones been thrown onto it but I'm sure we would have heard something. |

From the impact area on the glass it looks like 'someone' rather than 'something'. Have a close look to see if there are any marks on the bonnet where someone's jumped on it.
Sorry to see that mate, fortunately you're covered, but still a king-sized PITA.

Harsh  Least your insurance will take the sting out of the tail though I guess. If its as windy there as it is here it could have been the wind, but it looks like a big heavy object to blow onto it and damage it that badly. Like you say, looks like someones jumped onto it or something. Any footprints on the bonnet? |

Theres a few marks on the bonnet but theres been dents on that and the roof since ive had it so would be hard to tell, makes more sense though but as soon as i said nothing was stolen the police pretty much gave me a crime no. and hung up. |

Thats been made by the heel of a foot.
centre impact fractures (tiny crazy-paving stuff) = round & flatish low velocity impact (foot)
Secondary impact fractures (larger 'crazy-paving' effect = compound weight fractures (foot attached to leg being used as a 'club')
Outer 'fleece' fractures (thin lines) = shock fractures (like ripple on a pond)
don't ask how I know...i just do
Theres only really 1 other thing that would make that pattern and thats a baseball bat (or similar)....and you have to hit pretty darned hard to do that.....hard enough to hurt yourself

Below your bedroom window? I'd say you've been sleepwalking.
Or maybe a fair maiden slipped and fell on her way up the drainpipe to your bedroom.
