Alex Unsworth, who works at Greene King in Bury St Edmunds, was due to pay off the black S-Line model in a matter of months, but overnight on Tuesday, July 7, it was spray painted, keyed and all the windows were smashed while it was parked in Nowton Road near the roundabout.
The 24-year-old, who lives on Bury’s Nowton estate, is offering a cash reward for information that helps police catch the culprit who caused thousands of pounds of damage.

I got the car on finance and it’s literally up in February and I have spent the last five years now working hard to pay for that and within probably six months left of paying it off this has happened. I’m going through the insurance at the moment.”
This is not the first time his Audi - which cost £17,000 when he got it - has been vandalised, having been keyed several times a couple of years ago near his home.

Mr Unsworth said: “If I had a clue [who is was] it wouldn’t be over social media. I feel like it was a personal attack as nothing was stolen and it only happened to my car. I don’t have any beef with anyone that I know, but I know certain people might not like me for having flash things or something like that.”
