Residents say they are shocked after police said 22 cars on one side of a Bondi street had their windows smashed in an attack by a vandal overnight.

There were at least a dozen more cars which had their windows smashed in nearby Birriga Road in Bellevue Hill.

Police are examining blood on one of the car's windscreens. They have described the suspect as a tall, thin man who was wearing blue jeans, a red cap and a red jumper tied around his waist.

Last weekend about 27 cars were broken into in North Bondi, police said.

Two people were arrested over the spree but there was nothing to suggest today's vandalism was related, ' Acting Inspector Darren Smith said.

"Nothing's been stolen from these ones. This person's just gone nuts smashing windows,'' Mr Smith said.

He said police would conduct extra patrols of the area tonight.

A similar type of vandal attack occurred last Thursday night on Latimer Road, Bellevue Hill - just around the corner from Birriga Road.

A resident told smh.com.au three or four cars, including his own, had their windows smashed but nothing was stolen.

In Curlewis Street today, resident Teddy Meiners-Edwards, 17, said he was woken by police at 4.30am to inform him his car had its windows smashed.

The apprentice said he was not sure if his tools had been stolen from the vehicle, as police forbade him to touch it until it was examined.

"It's a pain in the arse," said Mr Meiners-Edwards, whose Subaru Liberty station wagon was uninsured.

His parents, who are travelling overseas, also had their Subaru Liberty vandalised.

Another local, Sasha Wajnryb, 29, said he first learned of the vandalism when a neighbour, carrying personal items from his car, told him of the vandal attack.

Mr Wajnryb said he was extremely lucky because only last month he began hiring a spot in a carport off the street.

He said he saw many cars with their windows smashed in, probably from a baseball bat or something similar.

"There was lots of smashed windows with heaps of broken glass lining the sides of the cars," he said.

Electrician Mo Moses, 47, said: "I can't imagine what would possess anybody to do this. What is there to say? I am in shock."

Ray Salter, 86, who has lived in the street for 50 years, said: "I hope they don't do this side of the street tonight."

Smh.com.au reader Matt Hawken said several cars in Latimer Road, en-route to Rose Bay from Curlewis Road, were vandalised in the same way last week.

His Subaru Outback and at least two other vehicles had their windows smashed after midnight on Thursday, Mr Hawken said.

Mr Hawken said his insurance did not cover the cost of replacing a window, because it was below the excess.

Police said 22 cars parked on the southern side of Curlewis Street were damaged and it did not appear any property had been stolen.

A witness told police they saw a tall, thin man walking east down the street smashing windows with what looked like a hammer about 2am.

Anyone with information can contact Waverley police on 9369 9899 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

well aren't you lucky that vandals are vampires, and can only come out at night!

I only park round bondi during the day thank god :laugh:

During the day there is another great danger, TOUCH PARKING!!!!!

not being sexist, but from personal experience IT SEEMS THAT THE MAJORITY OF WOMEN(males as well but seen more women doing it) THINK ITS OK TO TOUCH PARK AROUND BONDI!!! GRRRRRRRRRR!

i have never seen more touch parking in my life other than in bondi, and i am there at least twice a week for the last 4-5 years.

my gf parks her car on the street outside her house at bondi and within the last year it has been scraped on every corner, directly on the front and rear, and on one side, all while it has been sitting in a parking spot. if you look up and down the street nearly every car is in the same condition.

Yeh my ex lives on Newland St, I noticed that there were stacks of cars with tyres slashed a while back when driving up to see her.

Bondi = shithole. It's like Mt Druitt, just more expensive and closer to the beach.

Yeh her. What you been up to whorebag? Haven't seen your broad minded personty ass around in a while.

Uhh.. things are alright here I guess.. Just bought a new car n stuff, going to Japan in Janurary, new job is going well, so moving on up in the world at last.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
