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 always used to park pretty much overnight on the street at bondi until my car got keyed one night a few year ago. after that, never even once again!! stupid kids/jealous pricks!

wat do people get out of this?? such assholes, seriously now these people have to waste there time and money, becasue some sad low life fu k wit has nothing better to do, someone should put a hammer through this guys head.. if that was my car and i saw the c unt doing this, i know there would definitly be another news headline, "vandalist smashed to death"

edit:spelling

OMG that's terrible! This guy needs to be medicated :laugh:

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.

Err.. Sorry about the thread hijack lads

*cries*

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
