10 car vandalism hotspots
http://uk.finance.yahoo.com/news/10-...785039915.html
Where's worst
There's bad news for drivers in the London borough of Enfield, which was identified as the top car vandalism hotspot. Next up, South East London and Bournemouth experienced the second and third highest levels of vandalism.
Where your car is most at risk:
1. Enfield
2. South East London
3. Bournemouth
4. North West London
5. Brighton
6. Southall
7. Romford
8. Southend on Sea
9. Rochester
10. Edinburgh

Cars most at risk
As well as where people are most hit, earlier this year online insurer Swiftcover.com worked out the Lexus IS is the vehicle most likely to be targeted, followed by the BMW Z4 and the Mini One. The Mercedes CLK, Audi TT and Mazda MX-5 are also favourites with vandals.
In contrast, motorists with more "everyday" cars such as Fords and Citroens experienced fewer incidents.
Robin Reames, claims director at Swiftcover.com, said: "Our research shows that luxury cars are more likely to be targeted by vandals. The majority of vehicles in the top ten are what we call 'executive cars', likely to be driven by high earners who see their car as a status symbol."
