A £30 meal came with a £1,000 bill for a Wallingford couple after vandals attacked their car.

Joanne Wornham left her Saab estate in the St Albans car park in Wallingford town centre and went for a meal with friends.

She returned to find a massive dent in the car door -- it still had the print of a trainer in it -- and another in the rear.

Her husband Neil is offering a reward to catch the vandals.

Mr Wornham, who runs bar and hotel businesses in London, said: "It's not often I can get back in time to babysit but on Friday I could, and my wife went out for a meal as a treat.

"But that £30 meal came with a £1,000 price tag when we found out how much repairs would cost.

"I can't imagine what people get out of doing this sort of damage.

"But I want them caught and I'm prepared to offer a reward if it gets them to court.

"I was absolutely furious at the damage. I was just as angry at the way this sort of behaviour reflects on Wallingford if mindless vandals are allowed to rule the roost."
