Bummer.
You haven't peed somebody off recently have you?
What did the cops say?
Liggy,
That's not what they mean when they talk about hotting up your Commodore!
Sorry.:(
P
But why burn it :confused:
Proberly not smart enough to start it.
Your right flogging to good for some:mad:
Trouble is the insurance cover won't get you another one in the condition yours was in and insurance companies get funny about burnt cars, always seems to be a standard question any cars burnt out in the last 5 years.
Bummer
Not the Kingswood!
Seriously, I have to agree with your title. Even if the toe-rags get caught they will only get a slap on the wrist while you get five years hard labour saving the money for a replacement and doing all the work again.
It is not typical to just burn a vehicle in situ. Normally that is done to remove fingerprint evidence after having taken the car for a joy ride and/or stripped it for parts. Perhaps they stripped some parts on site?? Otherwise, craigb may be on the money.
Still, who can guess at the logic behind twisted minds.
I get angry whenever I see private and public property damaged by vandalism, grafitti etc. and even more so by the bleating about it being the artistic expression of poor, misunderstood little darlings who came from broken homes or had a difficult childhood.
Who didn't have a difficult childhood? I find it hard to believe that vandals will ever be anything but a blight to society and have no sympathy for them when they get their just desserts.
I remember one case quite a while back where a car thief was shot by police after he attempted to run them over in a stolen car. His mother complained "I know he did drugs and I know he stole cars and I know he used to beat up old ladies and steal their handbags but he was such a goooood little boy." A medal for the policeman, please!
my condolences,
Coldamus
Lignum,
Sorry Mate, what a mongrel thing to do!:(
Comiserations Lignum, Having had my car vandalised recently I can relate. I have been considering setting up a webcam in my letterbox to catch the little !@#$%'s
You can pick up wireless cameras that hook up to a pc, on ebay sometimes, not real exxy either.
What can ya say Lig:(:eek::(
Set up an 8 foot Fence electrify it cameras on all perimeters trip wires that send the foolhardy into a puddle of acid loud speakers chiming noise at decibles adults cant hear......................Oh yeah and a 22cal with some RAt Shot
Be careful though
The theives can sue you. If you touch them you'll get charged with assault n not to mention if you loose any court battles you'll foot the BILL
Gggggezzzzzzzzz what the world coming too!!!!!
You need a Shed for the Wheels Lig
Commisserations Lou
So beat them up properly, the other lads might stay clear then coz they know they'll get a mother of a hiding.Quote:

Massive bummer Lig! I hope you reported it straight away to the cops.
Don't know if there is any connection, but the North Melbourne footy club rooms were burnt down last night as well.:mad:
Sorry to hear, Lig, what a pr1ck. :(

Lignum: Sorry to see and hear about it.:eek: :mad:
The things that happen to Domino owners are amazing.
This make nice front page story.
Arsonist found with Domino wounds to 100% of his body, but the bad news is they are taking a breath every 5 minutes.
HJ0 Cheers;)
What IS the point of doing that? I can never understand it - vendetta yes - but just because you can? Bit of chlorine needed in the gene pool there.
Well what can i say. This time yesterday i had a decent old car, right now its a shell in a scrap yard in Braeside. S*#t happens. At least no one was hurt. Must say i was impressed with the speed of the response of the Firies and Cops, rang 000 and they were their within minutes.
Seems they were just (punks) out to cause trouble as their was empty smashed stubbies all over the street and they even put all old paletts around a tree and set fire to them as well. My car had the club-lock on so they couldnt pinch it, so after putting a big brick through the window they rolled it out on to the street and set fire to it.
Lucky for me as its always parked hard up againsed the roller door, so im just relieved they didnt set it on fire there. Because ive been crook for the last few weeks and full of anti biotics and crap i was out like a light and only heard the last two explosions, spewin cause normaly i would have heard the first brick through the window.
Still got me beat how or why people get a kick out of destroying other peoples property. And Midge i know that its not what they mean when they talk about hotting up your Commodore, but it is another way to do a good burn out:rolleyes:
Oh what a buggah! I'm really sorry to hear about your loss Lignum.
Hopefully the insurance will help a bit...
Total s*d, plus all the time it'll take to organise another set of wheels.
Lignum,
Sorry about the loss of the car, like you said at least the little scum pushed it away from the house. Can't see what they get out of it you can only hope they burnt themselves in the process, but I guess even that lesson would be lost on them.
John
Too bad, mate.
exactly what i was thinking....Quote:

I sorry to here of your loss! :mad: :mad: :mad:
Do you know anyone in the mid to late teen age group? See if they can ask around & find out who is responsible. I'll leave retribution up to you....... just wear a ski mask!! ;)
Here's a hint........ it's hard to steak/break into cars when you can't walk. The legal system is stuffed!
Doesn't this sort of thing give you the $hit$ ! Sorry to hear about it Liggy, it's just indicitive of what some people think is fun these days. No respect and even less inteligence. arsewipes. :mad:
If you need a big stick to flog 'em with, let me know - what a bunch of tools (not the good kind, either):mad:.
Bugger!:(
Mick
Two fire extinguishers and a little lump of wood are sitting close by so i can sleep at ease tonight. Pyros are a sick mob who love to see things flame. Id hate to think that they would have a return bout for some kicks:confused:
Lignum,
sorry to read about your car. I hope the little bastards come back and you catch them (around the ears with your lump of timber;) ). We've got a firebug in our area who's been setting fire to bushland for a few years now, thankfully no-one has been hurt or lost houses etc (yet). We know who it is, and so do the police, but unless we catch him in the act there's nothing that can be done. I keep hoping I'll be the one to catch him in the act:mad: . What's the worst that can happen? I've got an absolutely clean slate, I reckon I'd just get a good behaviour bond.;)
Mick
Mick, out of all the sickos i hate, the fire bugs top my list. Unlike a lot of crime, they plan and set out to destroy just to get their jollies. Not to many years ago a volunteer for the Castlemain CFA was lighting fires and then going with his "crew" to put them out. So calculating they are they need the full force of the law on them. And from what i gather its not uncommon.
My Years in Perth were an eye opener for the crazy amount of pyros running amok. People die and they couldnt care less.
I think they need their little fingers one by one, one finger a week for ten weeks put over a small flame and cooked to feel the pain that they cause others in the community. But the do gooders would have as believe otherwise:(
Sorry mate. You must be seething....
No its not. I'm in the local RFS. And during the fire session we go out to plenty of fires that are obviously just match dropped.... Of course most of the blokes could never be that way inclined, but, the job does attract those sort of people.....and its a hard crime enforce, so its hard to screen people for as well, unfortunetly.Quote:

Truthfully quite funny, but ...deary me. The captain wasn't too happy.
what a sad waste.:(
I hope no tools were in the car at the time:eek:
Its only when you see a car burned out that you realise how little metal is in cars these days.
One thing that has always concerned me is how well cars burn, I can see why the motor sport boys go to great lenghts to get rid of as much flamable stuff off the car as they can.
hope you have some replacement wheels soon.
cheers
Lignum, I think you need to move to a middle clas neighbourhood.
These sorts of things don't tend to happen to one there.
Trust me, I'm speaking from experience.
(Like I've said before, I'm sorry about your loss)
Well i was stunned at the severity and what little remained. Mine was a 82 Commodore so their was more metal:rolleyes: but even then it was just a shell and that was it. All the glass had just melted into the body. Metal, plastic and rubber is now part of the bitumen. The only thing that was recoverable was about $15 in change:D Ill clean it up and get a Lotto ticket with it;)Quote:

so young 15 year old burns your car down.... gets caught....normal ordinary jjustuce system operates.... then when he has owned his first decent car for a few short months... a man from the government comes one saturday afternoon and burns his car down in his own driveway...... while you watch.
in the short term perhaps they should be sentenced to wearing an ipod full of val dunican 24/7 till they see some sence or their brain explodes which ever comes later.
cheers

Whatever became of the quaint old practice of chaining these little barstools in stocks in the town sqare then pelting them with tomatoes etc? Bring it back and stuff the bleeding hearts!
That of course would be after the poor victim had 10 minutes alone with the t*rd.
