    I have been on the recieving end of vandalism with a parked car, nothing makes you grit your teeth more then seeing your glass smashed or the paint keyed over, you cant leave a broken down car anywhere, if you have to push or drag it, do so! way better then the other option.

    No insurance for us either.
    In anger I walked the streets for a couple of nights and discovered them damaging another vehicle.
    Kept quiet followed them home removed all their BMX bikes in the we hours with ute and dropped them off the local bridge into the deep deep river.
    Wrong I know but made me feel heaps better.

    Sorry, I'm far too nasty to do that.
    I'd flatten the bikes, burn them, then throw them back over the fence, with a small printed sign, "Your Next".

    I think it will be a write off by the insurance company.

    Mongrels!
    Ron, are you sure it was not the owners?

    Great way to dispose of a lemon.

    One may never know - but whoever did it left quite good prints from their sneakers on the panels.

    It surprises me that none of the residents in the complex heard it. Several of the business owners live in their commercial units both across and up from the mechanic.

    One local car dealership in a town I once lived in had about 30 cars damaged one night by vandals. All the windscreens had been kicked in + damage to the bonnets where they stood to kick them in. Never did find out if the vandals were caught or not.
    Another story: A boss of mine had just purchased a brand new 4x4 on a Friday night and was still in the showroom over the weekend when vandals broke into the building and used their 4wd to smash through a wall in order to steal a couple of Corvettes.
    Revenge is not right, but can make you feel sooo much better.

    I had someone back into the side of my RRC that was parked out the front of my house once. Good suburb, quiet street etc. it was the last thing I expected to find my quarter panel stoved in out the front of the house with no note. Later on, while thinking of getting rid of the car, I blew a tyre on the freeway and had to leave it on the side of the road for a time. It was fully insured and I would have been happy for someone to write it off for me and save on having to fix it up for sale. So I left it there for a few days, but no one touched it. It's always the way, If you want it to happen, it won't, if you don't want it to happen, it will.

    All these revenge attacks will get you nowhere, these people have no personal insight, your actions will only validate and escalate their behaviour.

    In the mid 1980's I worked as a nurse in Long Bay Prison Complex, one day sitting outside the clinic talking to two inmates, at the time Sydney people knew then as "the Commodore Kid" who stole turbo commodores and the other "The Turbo Kid" who stole turbo Porsches. While talking to them another inmate walked past, apparently this inmate had stolen a boom box from one of the two, and the "whichever kid" was fully intent on killing or seriously hurting the prisoner with the boom-box. During this event, I suggested that they were feeling the same as the people who's cars they had stolen and trashed. The response was that it was quite different, BECAUSE ALL THE CARS WERE INSURED.

    What can you say when that is how they think?

    I only lasted about 3 months, I knew that all the people in green clothing were criminals, but I was never sure which of the ones in blue were also criminals. So I resigned and left.

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

    I had aa 75 Fairlane and the little circuit breaker on the starter solenoid fused and she wouldnt kick over, not knowing where to look as it was black as i left the vehicle locked up, it was in a secluded place and thought it was ok, I even rang the fuzz and told them the situation just in case it was damaged, well it was, every piece of glass and a dead cat thrown in for good measure, I am a big fan of two sayings, one is what goes around comes around and the other is good things come to those who wait!, hope fully these knobs have endured some pain somewhere along the line. For years afterwards we were pulling little cubes of glass out of that car, under and behind seats, used to rattle around in the fan unit and all, pain in the bum!
