Angarak Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Breaking their arms is the only way of getting through to some kids these days. Some call it abuse, I call it 'tough love' Did you have words with the sprog who bent your van mirror in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev.O Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Sorry to hear this Peter. It's times like this that you wish you could hurt them and getting away with it. Having a quiet word in their ear doesn't do the trick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pistonbroke Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Stick razor blades to the edges of the mirrors, it'll leave a nice red trail to the culprits house, or A+E. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter richards Posted May 1, 2006 Author Share Posted May 1, 2006 fortunately kev it didnt cost me this time but a few people in the street are going to wake up to a repair bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopite Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 They did this on Halloween here a couple of years ago - just keyed every panel on every car in a nearby street, no trick or treat or anything. Parents of course refused to pay! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter richards Posted May 1, 2006 Author Share Posted May 1, 2006 this topic if you notice keeps raising its ugly head in one form or another . no fxxxxxx respect these days , i think in a minute people are going to start to take their own revenge on these punks , because atm they feel the are invinsible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 This has happened down our road too, middle of the night drunks walking home start kicking any door mirror on a parked up car. Its retarded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopite Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 What can you do to kids though? Drives me insane. My mate had a big argument with this woman last summer, he was out for a run and kids were abusing him and throwin stuff. He stopped and shouted his head off at them and they ran inside, when he came back, the mum was waiting for him and started threatening him! If any kids came near me or my supra, i'd follow them back home and tell their parents to control the shites. Then end up fighting with them probably lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLicense Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 If the culprits were brought to justice, what do people think the punishment for this should be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopite Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 If the culprits were brought to justice, what do people think the punishment for this should be? Multiple kicks in the balls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLicense Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Multiple kicks in the balls LOL what like 10 kicks per mirror? Seriously though, am interested to see what people think is a reasonable punishment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kopite Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 LOL what like 10 kicks per mirror? Seriously though, am interested to see what people think is a reasonable punishment. Yep or per offence I think the parents should just pay for any damage and any other losses from being without a car e.g. late for work etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev.O Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 I think the biggest problem is the parents don't care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopite Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Hopefully if they were stuck with the bill then they would start caring. Or an eye for an eye might come into play. The parents would probably end up claiming some sort of benefit to pay for the damage anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLicense Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 The reason I ask is I know a guy who's the brother of a woman who's like an aunt to me. Back in the day (probably late 60's early 70's) he was sent to Borstal for nicking pints of milk off people's door steps. Seems a bit harsh seeing as the kids who are wrecking people's property nowadays seem to get away with out so much as a stiff word from the local plod.

Kopite Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Kids know the law better than a lot of cops now. My mate tells me of how he was trying to stop kids generally being shits and knicking stuff, but then the kids were telling him that he can't search them etc and they were right. The law is no were near strict enough on "petty" crime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 The 15 y/o kids that smashed 4 car's windows and stole random stuff in my road back in Sept got a total of 40 hours community service, zero fine, zero compensation for the people that had their cars fucked up and stuff stolen. Yeah! That'll teach 'em Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter richards Posted May 1, 2006 Author Share Posted May 1, 2006 most of the parents are on some form of benefit , so youd be lucky to get any reimbersment , 10pence a week for the next hundred years . just another point while we are on the subject , i was sat in the take away saturday night , in walkes a family , mum dad , son , and daughter , kids looked about 8 to 10, they appeared to be respectable , was i wrong , they ordered their food and sat down opposite me , then the parents began to talk like say blokes down the pub , but to the kids , every other word was fxxx , bxxxxxx, i dont know if they thaught they sounded big or what , but the point leads back to the kids attitude to people if they hear that at home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Weren't you a few hundred quid out of pocket over that mate? (Not to try and make you madder ) Actually, no. I would have been if I had to pay Toyota's £560 +vat for a drivers door window though. Luckily I got a second-hand one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopite Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Programmes like Supernanny give a good insight too - the whole "no one else disciplines my child" attitude. Should see some of the little shits we get in work, running round snapping frames etc, do the parents care, nope! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
