Is turning yourself in a good idea?

[MSTRS:Me]

He means gang nail plates. Z nails are the other, bent ones. Both are good, but gang nails are ususally too short to ppenetrate a tyre. Z nails are best.

Was that you in Greenmeadows about a year ago?? Just you wait til your father gets home!

[MSTRS:Me]

Until you see the same prat parked as before??? My MIL always says that revenge is a dish best eaten cold. Use the time until 'next time' wisely, and dream up a suitable form of punishment for the bastard.

Quoting myself - sheesh that's bad but you could put this on a floppy to leave under their wiper (NWS)

Thanks for pointing that out to me what the difference is between a Z-nail and nail plates, hang on wait! I knew the difference. I was suggesting an alternative.

Perhaps I really should elaborate more in my posts, but to be honest, I can’t be fucked having a big spiel on about crap, I just get to the point, and I don’t need a waffle iron

Personally I use a knife to slash the tyre, you know put it just in the wall of the tyre near the rim of the wheel, less effort.

here's a little trick i learnt somewhere. get a small stone, take off the valve cap, put said stone inside cap, screw back on til it quietly goes psssstttttt. tyre(s) slowly go(es) down. you're looooong gone

TWO valves. TWO stones. ONE spare.

just take two wheels off and take them with you, leave a note along the lines of "you had too many wheels to use this park. I've sorted it for you.




you're welcome."

- of course i don't need to tell you that this is a bad idea(tm)

Well, I found out he isn't going to the police. I wonder what the police will do considering I dobbed myself in.

The guy who eventually came over and gave me the pen and paper *was* the owner of the car but was deadpan about it and he'd been watching me for 20+ minutes from outside his work. Why he hadn't shifted it, even to free up one motorbike park, god knows.

He is "an arsehole of a worker who deserved everything he got for parking there for six and a half hours, and I warned him against parking there this morning"

And everybody at his work is laughing at him for being a jerk and finally getting payback.

I'm not gonna do this again. I'm surprised he didn't move it, or didn't go apeshit at me, or phone the police. But I am surprised at how much I lucked out. This could be very bad, I could have been done for intentional damage, even blamed for the key marks the car has (which I didn't put there) and that would have been expensive.

Handle back on temper. I'm good now. This will not happen again.
Next time I will go directally to police and / or a tow company, as per suggestion.

I would draw the line at causing damage to the cage, but oil on the windscreen seems perfectly justified. Not sure about blowing the tyres - if he comes back he wouldn't be able to move it, and would just be taking up valuable MC spaces for longer!

The easiest thing to do is park your bike in a whole car park. they don't like that much. A cop asked me once why I did that, and I told him that if he would get the car shifted out of our bike park, then I could use that. He did, and thank you Mr Cop.

[Firefight]

pm me your addy, I'll send you some oil to replace the stuff you used.

I just park right up the arse/front of the offending car/van and sit down close by and have a pie or whatever.

[vifferman]

Z-nails

So it was you spreading z-nails on the Wellingtown m-ways?

[Smorg]

I agree with the park in front and have a pie! but for extreme cases i carry a bottle of brake fluid in the compartment under my seat thankfully ive only used it once or twice

You said it all. Lesson learned here. Onya mate.

I wish the BoiRacR that f*$%ed our Fiat on Saturday night would turn himself in!

We got back from our holiday, emptied the car, then I took the Fiat out of the gargre so the wife could drive straight in when she returned from her FoodForagingExpedition. "Hmmmmm.... should I park it over the other side of the road, or wait till she gets back and park it on the apron?" (no driveway).
A few minutes later, she returns, and a couple of minutes after that (less than 10 after I put it there), a neighbour comes to tell us that the Fiat is now in the middle of the road, having been shunted there by a guy in one of two black cars that were "racing around the streets". They both took off before she could get their licence plate numbers. Great. So we now have to pay for a new back bumper and tailgate.
Luckily, the handbrake wasn't on very hard, and it's weak anyway, so the damage was less than it could have been.
We've reported the 'hit'n'run' to the cops, and yesterday son#2 saw a car around the corner which matched the description - it also had damage consistent with the bits left on the road, and with running into a silver-painted Fiat. So hopefully the cops can follow that up before it's repaired, so we can match the bits of indicator and headlight to that car.
