Bloody cagers

Parked my bike in a car park in Riccerton (Bush Inn) today, went and had a nice lunch. On returning to where my bike was parked, I find that there is now a car parked there and my bike is now parked on the sidewalk, Bastards. They had dropped it in the process (superficail damage and yes the steering was locked) and the people that where, just leaving car they had just parked (where my bike was) denied all knowledge, Bullshit, they had the cheek to say I shouldnt have parked there as it was a car park , I still havent figured out logic in that, Took a photo of the reg plate of the car, made it very obvious that I was doing that in fact walked round the car taking photos of both font and rear number plates, if only I had a wittness to the fact.

Im thinking of wiring up a power invertor to ward off any people who wish to move my bike.

Bogan got any ideas on how to do this

Should have told them that it's a registered vehicle and that you'll park in parks allocated to registered vehicles whenever you like. Then tell them just how much it costs to register your bike for their information.

Same thing happened to me once, left an angry note on windshield of said car and basically did nothing after that (apart from grinding teeth, seething etc).

Also pulled into an empty space in Cornwall Park recently (with no parking lines on the road) and was promptly accused by a passing motorist of taking up two spaces with my rather skinny bike. Try and figure that one out...I couldn't. Wasn't even on a busy weekend, it was on a Monday night at around 5.30pm (with the park closing at 6pm).

Stomp on the roof, no question. I'm not big on people who fuck with other people's property, but turnabout is fair play. Post up the pics.

Pro tip: If you key a vehicle, make sure you do every panel including the petrol flap so it goes over their excess.

Tire valve removal tool is the answer, I take mine everywhere.

Rape, murder and burn them, simple pimple.

I would have smashed up their car if someone did that to my bike.

you don't need an inverter. AC voltage isn't that lethal unless you go really high current which will drain your batt like a mofo. a DC-DC step up transformer to the tune of ~10 thou volts should do it. or get a portable fence energiser (RD1 type shop), rip some capacitors out of fluro lights, tape them on, and bolt that shizzle on.

I like to do all four, but each to their own. Not a good idea to resort to too much criminal damage, cos then it just makes it worse for YOU in court, if it should come to that.
