Hi Gareth,

I sympathise with you, my daughter's car has been vandalised twice now. The perpetrators got away with a Radio/CD that they would probably get £25 for, leaving behind a bill for over £700 worth of damage. My initial reaction was to considered making flat cushions for the car with 100's of fish hooks sewn into it, to be put in place while the car was left unattended - then when I calmed down, I did what we all had to do - pay for the repairs and get on with life. My daughter, who is away at university, is now a lot more careful where she parks - on this she did get some really good advice on this from the Police.

Hi michaelr and KimC - Thanks for the reminder of a very funny film (Johnny Dangerously ?). If memory serves me correctly, didn't the guy (spoof mafiosa boss) end up getting deported. Think I remember the swirling news paper headline showing the guy's picture with the headline:

"DEPORTED TO SWEDEN FOR MURDERING THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE"

then the by-line:

"Says he doesn't come from there"
