I honestly don't know what I would do in this situation. Death comes to mind.

That doesn't seem like random violence, that seems personal. And I agree, someone needs killin'.

I'd settle for life imprisonment...so long as they're kept near fire ants, and I have the ability to squirt sugar water on them whenever the urge strikes me.

You guys are just too violent. We need to coddle the perp and try to understand their situation.

It's not important what they did, it's important that we not scar them by being too harsh.

I mean after all, criminals are people too! And that was just a car.

I realize that this was sarcasm, but hearing crazy talk like that is still raising my blood pressure.

Often vehicle thefts are set ablaze to remove physical evidence.

Unfortunately, the only thing you are really able to do in situations like that is rage in impotence.

I find it helpful to have rude fantasies about catching them in the act, but I know in reality I would probably do nothing, because if I did any portion of my fantasy, I would spend far,far more time in jail than the vandal would.

Yes, it was firmly tongue in cheek, but you know that even some of the guys on this forum are thinking it.

This sort of thing just pissed me off because of the cowardice.

Yes that's true. Just like the one time I posted about my motorcycle being stolen and someone posted that it was no big deal and maybe the thief needed it more than I did.

I thought he was joking but apparently he wasn't.

As hard as I busted my ass to restore my Jensen and build the Jensenator/bike, I do think I'd probably go batE36 M3 if someone vandalized them. So put me in the someone needs killin' camp.

Dude, we're from Alberta. Ontario != the rest of Canada... even if they'd like to think so.

Yeah...

Alberta likes to think they're Texas.

Out here in B.C., We're the California of Canada.

I still think this is what should be done to thieves (about the 2:00 mark): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYa1IsxGVuc

Canadians ARE a peaceful bunch. Until you start vandalizing someone's property. Especially beautifully restored classics.

Or until some of us start drinking.

Or if you're from Vancouver.
