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.

i was at bondi tonight, i was a little worried about my windows getting smashed so i had my ear out in case it happened, after which something other than a window would get smashed :P

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

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.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
