SMASHED LOUVER

Post by MCHUDD » 01 Jan 2010 09:49 pm

Hi all and happy new year.
On the 29 December some scumbag[s] ripped my rear window louver of the back of my car
and smashed it up into small pieces,F*****g B*****ds. There was know need to do that.
As everyone here knows,it is a very rare and valuable part.
Thanks to Steve and Ben i will always have a picture of it on the site.
There is no point in trying to find a replacement as the que would stretch from my house to the mainland.
I will just have to resign myself to never having another one.
Cheers Mark. sm2 sm2 sm2 sm2 sm2 sm2 sm2

Ah dude!
The m@therf@ckers!

That kind of action is absolutely without rational Defense.
Dirty b@satrds.
Thats like kicking over a gravestone, or stealing the sign from Auschwitz.

Only FAR worse.

Im Sorry Mark.

A bullet in the spine is frankly too good for them.
And I know that if youd have f@cking heard them, youd have got at least one discharge on target.

Sorry mate.

Like Mr. Vincent Vega says: 'Theres nothing more cowardly than fucking with a mans automobile.'

Hi Mark,
I know kind of how you're feeling..
this is how I found my car last year:

Image

That WAS an electric mirror.. sm2

if I ever see someone on my car, I'll ensure he won't do anything again to my stuff!
actually, I'll ensure he won't do anything after that at all :wink:

good luck with finding a new louvre!

Mark

Argh really, really sorry to hear that Mark... that's terrible news! I wonder if it's worth gathering all the pieces up and making an attempt at repairing it/remoulding it in fibreglass

There used to be reason in this world, scumbacks did not dare to touch man's car, it was okay to teach lesson or two to scumbacks, if days would be like they were, this would be a solution:

However in these girlie state of our nations only thing that can be done is feel bad from such loss. Hopefully those scumbacks will get AIDS and swineflu, also some nasty cancer that makes them be pains and having diahrrea all the time for rest of their lives sm2

There are millions of ugly clone cars that are still being produced, why they can't wreck some of those 2010 models, nobody will not miss those, but it is always those cars having little character, which will suffer from these scumbacks :cry:

If I come accross any louvres, I let you know, however chances are indeed slim :|

Fools attack:

A) what they do not understand.
B) what they fear.
C) what they cannot afford.


Unfortunatly, the world is full of fools. :?

That's hateful mate, really sorry to hear that. Sounds like random drunk youths, they go for the older cars now. They took the 89 360 I gave to my sister from outside the Odyssey because most of the other cars had immobilisers.

Such a waste by really selfish people with no values.

When I think about this, I have come to conclusion which should be practise and a law, imo:
Destroying something that can't be replaced, punishment from that should be loss of something never grows back, like finger, teeths, genitals...

I feel for you there.

Hard as it is, take consolation in the fact that the car is okay.

(Been there, seen it, had it done, got the salvage)
