Vandals strike 6 hybrid cars

Do people really have nothing better to do?

Once they catch these guys, they will be in for a world of hurt...

 

I am soooo lucky. I live in Petaluma, on the westside, AND on West Street where one of the attacks occurred. After I read the story here, I cleaned out my garage so that I could park it inside. After I finished washing my beloved Prius, a Channel 5 van drove up to interview me. Power to the Prii. Too bad they cut the part where I mentioned Priuschat.com.

You can see the story on CBS 5 - San Francisco Bay Area's source for news, weather, traffic and sports

 

Hi All,

Whelp, Jeremy Clackson's seed of hatred has blossomed in California.

One could guess something like this would happen, with all the times the Clackson machine gun episode was being posted on You-Tube.

Clackson went over the line, and I think we need to protest his show.

 

That be nice if it were the case. No, the liberal courts will say these children are suffering some kind of mental defect. They'll wind up doing community service, probably washing police cars.

 

That sounds nutty, you can always hope they lose control, drive off a bridge, and make gurgling sounds before they drown

 

That is certainly the case here in Canada, thanks the the Youth Criminal Justice Act, dreamed up by the Liberal government and passed in 2003. Of course, there are now a rash of car thieves under 12 as the little darlings are held by the hand and protected, even if they happen to purposely run over a pedestrian

Even punks 12-18 have little to fear, certainly no real "justice" for the victims. One consequence of the YCJA is that a lot of B&E goes unreported, as no official source wants to investigate

 

Aww heck. That means all the Mean Guys Built Like Apes who Drive
Priuses will get all the Cool Chicks who Drive Priuses, and we
geeky types will have to remain our socially inept selves.
.
But maybe that'll yield more time to work on that nearby-motion
triggered video logger that captures clips in four different
directions, allowing an owner to see who trashed his car...

_H*

 

ITS TIME FOR A STING OPERATION!!!

thats the only way to catch em

 

I like the way you think! I'm for it. (BTW, I also rented a Prius while my dammaged car was being repaired. I drove it from Monday til Saturday without incident, so that kind of shoots my theory down about mine being vandals).

 

Hell, i'll put my Prius up there for a sting just to catch these guys

 

Awwww, now you've hurt my feelings. I'm actually a member of the Mean Guys Built Like Apes Who Drive Priuses But Were Socially Inept Geeks In Uniform In The Army Who Prefer To Work On Their Vehicles In The Buff

Anyhoo, long story short: Mess with my Prius or my FJ, lose your arms

 

I don't know if anyone's seen this... but Jalopnik picked up on the story:

News: Prius Owners Victim Of Treehugger-Hating Vandals

Not that it's important... but the picture of the smashed Prius looked familiar. Until I realized it was *MY* old Prius:

They just clipped the timestamp off. LAME!

Edit: Treehugger.com is doing the same. Also very lame.

 

they mess with mine they're going to have another whole to breathe out of

 

thanks that was funny to read...

 

Instant tracheotomy, I like it!

Hay, I resemble that remark. 6'1, 250lbs. I usually carry a walther PPK/S. Licensed to carry concealed in 28 states.(not NJ) But who needs that, when I keep fairway wood handy.

Getting OT, but I'd be pissed if others were using MY pics for their gain. They are infringing on your Copyright unless you explicitly gave them permission to use the pictures.

Pictures posted on the internet are not public domain.

I would ask whoever is using your picture without permission to remove the pictures and if they don't respond, start going up the chain to their hosting provider or ISP. They typically take Copyright violations fairly seriously.

 

I was close to 300, but went on a weight management course almost 4 years ago. That weight was "borderline" for my build and I felt a bit sluggish. Around 200 now, feel much better.

The nice thing about living in Utah was that a CCW permit was pretty much automatic if you were current Guard or Armed Forces. Never felt like I needed my weapon while living there.

Started off carrying my Dad's Colt 1911, 1950's vintage. In the mid 1990's decided to become modern and went to a Glock 22. No way I'd go back to a 1911 or similar ancient design

Up here, only the street gangs are allowed to carry concealed
