As for flipping cars? Still, a total dick move no matter how you want to rationalize it. Thugs, headed for prison hopefully. If it's OK, I would like to schedule a time to come flip your car or do the equivalent in property damage. Been pretty bored lately, and just ran out of AAA batteries. Please pre-approve this with your insurance company.
Tim, I was hoping to walk away quietly from your once FUNNY thread :/ But since it is your thousandth forum post anniversary and you are the OP, I wouldn't want to appear disrespectful to you

You want to hear me saying that I would be angry if someone would deliberately do damages to my property. Well, yes, I would. Not only because of the damage itself but also because I may have well deserved it. I'd be pissed at myself mostly. I don't believe bad things happening to people for no reason. Here, in the USA, in Cambodia... same everywhere. Not applicable in this random Smart car case of course but you get the idea.

In fact, not only I would be angry, I would be terrified Tim. The kind of guy who wouldn't know what to do. All I know is how to protect my love ones, and my pair of rotties. Okay, we would possibly be running in the basement, lockdown the family in a dark room, and me standing stiff with a butter knife with wide open eyes.

RE "random" vandalism done to my property. I'll be dead honest with you; I simply call this bad luck and move on 99.9% of time laughing at my cause. Trying to get away smarter from these kinda things (buying a garage?!) and finding the funny bit about it is I believe healthier in my case. I might also be trying to avoid becoming that miserable old grumpy smuck rumbling about every little meaningless social problems that we have today.

I see bigger problem elsewhere Tim. Smart car flipping remains funny here sorry!

(can I go now please?)
