Hi,
I agree, I sincerely doubt that the youth was making some kind of protest statement because he was concerned about the breach of parking regulations. He just was not bothered of the financial and emotional implications of his actions on the car owner.
I can't make up my mind whether the general public resent successful people or they just don't give any thought to the consequences of their behaviour. I suppose that's the difference between normal folk and these Neanderthals. When I see a nice car I'm full of admiration and aspire to own such a possession. What right-minded person thinks "I know, I'll jump on the bonnet and get my hooligan friends to take a photo and publicise my crime on the internet"?
I'm coming round to the flogging idea, televised of course!
Going back to the original post, obviously I don't agree with the reasons, but you can understand why somebody may steal a car in order to profit financially from the crime. Whereas there is no personal gain whatsoever in jumping on bonnets and setting fire to cars.
Rant over.
Andrew.
