I did have a few nice tools that I was thinking of getting out and following them up the road, but thought what’s the point at the end of it I’ll get done by the cops and could loose my job over it.

Razor blades was thinking of running some wires under the arches so if any idiot put there hands under the there they'll get a nice 12volt shock., not enough to hurt but enough to make them think again

lol as stanly knife blades are steel aswell, could always weld them in the wheel arches...how ever 1. cops 2. mot 3. if you go over a particualy nasty speed bump your going to effectly slash your own tyres

How the hell do some people just think it’s alright to destroy other peoples things with no thought to what impact it has on others?

Because a mini is a small old C**p car to a chav, witch thanks to it’s light weight is easy to tip over, compared to more modern cars and the fact chavs don’t like anything that requires too much effort (not enough brain cells)

kids used to nick the valvecaps off my mini all the time - even the C**p plastic ones i put on once. so i bought some 'anti theft' ones with a little grub screw that clamps them on, and sharpened up all the edges on the cap. came out one morning to find my wheels had smears of blood on them but the valve caps were still there. never had any more nicked since, dunno if its because of that or because they saw me in the woods with a shotgun and several dead things.

i wouldn't dream of it
its just the scruffy one's brought up on council estates

So you're against sweeping generalisations?

[photographymatt]

I think its just people mostly. The minority of people are cool, groovy and nice to know, the other 95% are surplus:-)

Before going to college/uni, I worked in a shop. I learned that on the whole..people are d***s. from the career unemployed to the middle manager of some IT company to a CEO.

The trick is, to quote a song, "Remember compliments you receive. Forget the insults. If you succeed in doing this, tell me how"

Because we all have a car that does stand out, its going to be a target. My friend's white ford escort is a very nicely done car, it got its window smashed in a street/car park full of other normal looking cars. I try and park near cctv cameras or near heavy footfall

the stupid thing is...connect a car battery or razor blades under archs..your then considered a criminal. I knew of someone(friend of a friend of a friend) who got arrested for putting some cloth on his drivers seat, then lots of broken glass ontop and cloth to hide it because he was sick of his car getting broken into. Someone did...hurt himself, police came calling.

My opinion on this is....you take someones rights away, you loose yours. so while we should be alloud to protect our property.....everyone is right, the s-hits of this fair country...have more rights than us:-) makes you want to cry hey?

I keep a 24" socket wrench bar in my boot... My wheelnuts come loose sometimes...

Nothing you can do I'm afraid mate.. That's one of the joys of living in the UK. Lets all move to NZ or Oz..

"Will the last one out of the Uk please turn the lights off."

i might have to try that, ive always got my mate stanley with me anyway......

Argh I can't stand this behaviour.
I was reading this topic just the other day and was outraged by some of the stories and the way these activities are dealt with, or not by the authorities - then this morning I come out to my Mini to find a large dent in the drivers side door where someone had obviously tried to kick the handle to try and break in. Thankfully they were unsuccessful as the lock was still operating, so now thanks to some my dad's outside trying to push it out (I wouldn't trust myself with it) and I'm looking for a replacement door just in case .

I've also had threats from people saying that they'll tip my car or rip my wheel arches despite giving them no motive :S. I'll never understand why some people take pride in vandalising others posessions.

Oh and likewise I'm 17 and I wouldn't dream of doing such a thing to anyones car... unless perhaps they'd done something to mine

[RetroRacer21]

this is why i have my baseball bat in my car

lol.
I actually had my BB gun in my first mini under my seat.

think a Bat would be best

yep.
I dont know why people can have such small brains.

but then again, its how your grow up and how your parents are that make the difference.
and where you live.

but I tell you, I would go really mad and probably would not stop if someone hurt my Cat. more than my car.
my car can be fixed, people & animals cant.

but yea, You tend to know the area's where they are, and what such willy heads are about.
they get everywhere.

i have a metal pole in my boot. about half a metre long with 3 inches at the end bent at a right angle. i used to use it to clear out rabit hutches but i reckon it would make a good weapon. im building up to a crowbar and a baseball bat. if i can ever afford it, ill buy vinnie jones and stick him in the passenger seat. id love to see that lock stock scene in real life but involving someone who has just tried to break into my mini. i would laugh at him so much!
