One of my cars was vandalised tonight. Nothing too serious; just a heap of rotten food and shit thrown all over it, after they tried all of the doors and found it was locked. I washed it off, plotting my revenge.

Tyres are insulators, so it should be possible to build up a decent charge that will produce nice, big, purple flashes at night.

Off to do the sums, and to determine whether it will stuff up the car's electronics.

       They came back! Nice cool night to be walking about soaking wet. I hadn't put the hose away. Got two of the three, pretty good.

       Good for you, [UB]. Want to borrow my pepper spray?

       How did they know it was your car?

       They didn't. It was simply parked out the front of the house. I live in an area where very few people don't park their cars in built-in garages which are part of the house. We park two of the cars inside but the third one is out on the street.
