Am I the only one getting sick and tired of getting back to my car to find multiple cards stuck in the window seals, flyers put through the door handle, and this really pissed me off, an actual A4 sticker stuck to the rear screen which has left adhesive residue on the glass when I took it off.

The latter was in the private car park where I live.

I work in media city and at the end of the day the car parks are covered in bits of card and paper from this act.

Quite fked off about this after this morning.

They seem to avoid me with the fliers and cards etc - must be the year of dirt that keeps them away.

The A4 sticker does seem to be a step too far though, however a few years ago another company went one step further. They sent a team out to find SUVs with rear mounted spare wheels, and installed a branded wheel cover onto their cars (without permission). The real kicker though was that if you already had your own wheel cover, they took it off and replaced it with the branded one - and kept the old one!

I've had enough - written to 7Days about the problem. Also written to TimeOut Tickets, Virgin Tickets and Red Bull. I've told them all that I'll be reporting them to the police for criminal damage and I'll set up social media pages highlighting the issue.

TimeOut Dubai called me back within ten minutes saying they had nothing to do with it and it must be a Red Bull initiative.

Had a call yesterday from Time Out telling me aggressively that they have nothing to do with it. Their attitude was rather confrontational so I started saying that I've already reported the criminal damage to the police with their contact details. They're not happy - nothing from Virgin.

Just had a grovelling apology call from Red Bull themselves. When I also told them that the sign could mislead people into thinking that you'd put a 'For Sale' sign on your car, which is illegal - the bloke started to get quite worried.

I couldn't agree more, I find it a pain in the a**e. It's not bad enough that we have 15million airconditioning stickers over our water meter doors, not we have stickers on our cars too!

I was thinking about going to the X-fighters, but they can poke it now. Vote with your feet!
