I don't know whether to laugh or cry. My Spit is parked in a leafy
avenue in a nice part of a nice town. I've had her for a year. During
that time, she has had the following attacks by vandals:
- Radio aerial snapped off
- Driver's side door-mirror snapped off
- Soft-top slashed open (slashing the sun visors in the process)
- Driver's side door-mirror snapped off (again)
- Three dozen eggs smashed over her (weird, I know!)
- Overrider smashed
- Driver's side door-mirror snapped off (yet again)
I too would be interested in a security system that shouted "Step away
from the car!" when people got too near. Or possibly one that was
linked to a grenade launcher.
