I wish we had laws like Singapore here in the USA.
In Singapore, the penalty for valdalizing cars is public torture. You get caned in the town square.
We should do that here. There is NO excuse for vandalism.
Personally, I wouldn't have a problem if we apply the death penalty for it.... but I guess some people would think that extreme.

A couple of years ago I had both an M Roadster and (still have) a Land Rover Discovery. The Roadster had the 3.2L I6 engine while the Land Rover had a 4.0L V8 (based on the '60's era Buick Alum. V8). When I took both (1999MY) in for their first emissions test after 24 months of use guess what car was lowest by a huge margin on the readings? Yep, the V8 was recording fewer emissions than the little M Roadster.
Case two, So our family is growing and the wife decides she wants to trade in the E53 4.4L V8 for a
Minivan (AWD) with a 3.3L V6. She cited rising gas prices and more room for the family in the minivan. I did all I could to talk her out of it but she won. In the end, the minivan is getting (real world) 17mpg while the V8 X5 was giving us about 21mpg.Right now I have three cars. The 3.3L V6 Minivan, the 4.0L V8 Discovery and a 4.4L V8 E39. And the car with the best mileage also has the biggest engine.

True... each model of car is a separate set of circumstances and each driver has an effect on gas mileage as well. My car is extremely efficient and is far better than just about any SUV - including the hybrids. My original post wasn't a slam on SUVs, and I certainly don't suggest that -any- vehicle is worthy of being made an example of... I was simply pointing out the lack of "logic" in the "logic" that was used by the vandals when they selected the target.
Where did this happen? NOVA or somewhere else?
