Ian,
I looked at the pictures last night and I was so upset looking at them. I do not understand damaging other peoples property it's just beyond me. I see a nice car and am really pleased for the person owning it. It could be a mint Mark 1 Golf GTI or a Veyron I admire it and would always give the owner a knowing smile - say at a petrol station for example.
Now I am not stupid and if you have nothing and can never imagen being able to get nice things the world is not the same place. But, I just cannot get this and so premeditated as well it's sick. They might walk past and scratch (spur of the moment jelous act/showing off) but paint stripper just is beyond words......... It made me sick for the owner his/her brand new pride and joy they have saved to buy ruined by a mindless act = just so sad.
