Car vandals on rampage

A CAR was burnt and six others were daubed with graffiti in a street in Mill Park early today.

A resident awoke shortly after 3am to find her car alight in the driveway of her house in Grevillia Drive, Mill Park, police said.

She tried to extinguish the fire before calling the Metropolitan Fire Brigade. The car was badly damaged.

Vandals spray-painted a second car in the driveway and a garage door.

Two cars at a neighbouring residence and three others in the street had also been painted with slogans including "No burnouts" and "You're next".

Saw this on the news. Apparently the residents are sick of losers doing burnouts in their street so took the law into their own hands. Ha ha gotta love bogans!

Car was badly damaged. Understatement of the year!

Did you see the street?

If bogans lived in my area(thankfully it is bogan free atm) and they were doing that, i'd take action to if the police didnt. It is a bloody disgrace.

Again it shows bogans are like hyenas, feeding off scum, living in scum.

i live about 5 mins away from there poeple hoon all the time around mill park and epping unfortuantly this will prolly snowball, The locals papers have been reporting on this for ages in this area hooning is pretty bad but hopefully this does settle down

Off topic but:

Im from narre warren in melb, and my car keeps getting lightly srcatchd everynight and also urinated on by some idiots... I have gotten fed up, and my dad has now placed a hidden camera out the front.

I am thinking it is some heavy ford fans around the corner from me, though soon find out ey

the LAW really stinks .... you can NOT protect property the same as protecting yourself or family ... if you was to hit the torcher with a baseball bat or tackle them as they run away and they hit the kerb or bitumen and broke a few teeth ... they can sue you for $$ thousands and most likely they get off in court or if go to prison, never ever pay you for the damage .... a COP once told me--- knock them down, break a leg or arm .... then call us and say ---- he was running away, fell over and broke his leg ....

[coolvxss]

Yeah mates dad caught some1 braking into his house, so mates dad tied him to a tree on a main road and made a sign to put up next to him saying, "im a thief" and mates dad got in heaps more trouble then the bloke that was braking into his house. Laws so stupid.

i wonder if the scum that burnt the car know what it's like to burn alive in a fire?

I also hope they get a nice arson charge and some coarse very well deserved punishment.

It's a fire that could have quite easily gotten out of control and potentially killed somone (or a few people)...

of course, i don't condone burnouts in a residential area by any means, but seriously, resorting to arson is just stupid.....

granted, if police weren't doing anything about it then some incentive by the locals is required, but that is a bit extreme.

[minux]

Did anyone actually see the guys that have been doing the burnouts etc? They are poster child hoons in chapel st lol.

[Cane_It]

let me guess, given that the loser arsonist cant spell and targetted a white van and a little barina (or similar) show's a real "shoot em all and let god sort em out attitude". i hope the bastard(s) arsonists get their balls nailed to a fencepost.

I dont side with the hoons but when all is said and done I'd rather a few burnouts in my street than some nutcase setting things on fire in my street. Does this mean that anyone in melbourne that owns a commodore is fair game for having their pride and joy torched in the driveway?

See... I saw this on the news... And there were cars that had grafitti on them that wouldnt even be able to do a burnout, thats if they didnt crap themselves as soon as they went over 20ks.

If my car was vandalised by someone just because they have a problem with something I'd be really really REALLY pissed.

Why do that? Someones car was burnt. How would they feel if someone went to their bank, withdrew $15,000 and burnt it infront of them because they were sick and tired of something.

Go to the council and get them to do something about the road. Roundabouts, poles (anyone whos been to williamstown in melb in the last few years will know what i mean), something! But not that. Thats just disgraceful. Theyre no better, infact WORSE than the people that they themselves are 'sick of'

Anyone living in Melbourne go and take a tour around any of the streets in Mill park or Epping and you will see black lines painted everywhere. The areas are mostly lived in by Italian's and the young punks all drive Commos along with their doof doof music. Sort of not surprised by a resident getting pissed off so much. Not that I'm saying it was even a fraction of a smart thing to do painting all these cars. Pretty brainless. There is always a better solution. Maybe video footage and then taken to the cops would have been much smarter. Oh well, glad I am not in that area even though I'm 15 minutes away from there.

[MikesVT]

Craig, whats wrong with Italians driving commodores?

I'm the typical steriotype, 19 year old Italian male driving a Calais. Sometimes I play my doof doof as loud as my stock stereo will let me

See... I don't go doing burnouts, I don't even speed at all because I get so overly paranoid that I see flashes and I freak myself out. I wouldnt want anyone doing anything to my car just because they see the P on a holden and think "hoon!". Hell... I drove my dads vy ss for over 2 years and not once did I light up the back tyres (on public roads ).
Point being, innocent people got their property destroyed

[minux]

Inocent peoples property wasnt destroyed, all the vehicles belonged to the groups of hoons.

It may make them think twice before doing it now. Extreme times call for extreme measures.

[Lumps of cheese]

Well it seems that the people have struck back, can't say it's something i'd do but then again, i don't live in an area populated by hoons either.
Mike, doof doof, really??
Lol just kidding.

[AirStrike]

Its the stupidest thing in the world!!! My next door neighbor is renovating his house atm and the noise is shitting me, along with the two tech screw in my tires so by some of your reasoning I should burn his house down??

could be a cat

[VN_Luke]

ooo the plot thickens, I was reading another forum and found this:

ohhh i just found out wat happend, new years eve, kids were doin burnouts in the street and the house with the burnt out car dobbed them into the coppers so the kids got em back by writing no burnouts on the cars and burning his car!

sure, it's not a reliable source, but it makes a bit more sense...

[MikesVT]

Mike, doof doof, really??
Lol just kidding.

I listen to a bit of everything, every now and then you just HAVE to play some doof doof. I guess you could say I'm just 'keeping up apperances'

[craigvk]

Craig, whats wrong with Italians driving commodores?

Absolutely nothing!

maby before you do that talk to him, tell him you are pissed off and see what he says. If he is a decient bloke he will see you point, if not well i guess you better get a jerry can!

[Ripcell]

im not a violent person by any means, but if i caught someone doing that to my car the JC crew could have cruises to come visit me in barwon prison for the next 20 years....

[Wombat]

Ahem, seeing as how the statute of limitations would probably protect me from telling about this now, and the hoon in question has never been seen again, I feel free to let you know this:
We are talking some years back, before hoon laws, back when the public could report a car doing burnouts, but if the cops didn't SEE it, they could only maybe give a warning...if they could find the car.
I live on a cross street. A guy in a brown VN was constantly doing burnouts out the front at the give way sign, even chucking circles in the middle of the intersection, at 2am. Anyway, he started visiting people about a block down from us, and all of us were getting fed up with this flogknuckle...there are kids everywhere in this area, and we could all see him chucking a circle and catching traction and ending up in someones living room sooner or later. The cops could only give him a stern warning, as by the time they turned up, he was either gone or the car was innocently parked in the driveway. His druggy friends and himself always told us all politely where to go if we dared ask him to drive like a normal human being instead of the toerag he was...
One night, some evil twisted person in our street went quietly down to the house where the VN was parked in it's usual spot, nosed up the sharply sloping driveway beside the house, and wedged four very large nails, one behind each one of his large expensive low-profile tyres. When he fired up and let it roll down the driveway the next morning...well...I don't have to spell it out for you...

My neighbors and I still have no idea who did this...

[nsladden]

Sometimes people DO take the law into their own hands but setting someones car on fire is just stupid. You could have at least punctured the tires or knocked the wheels off it. Although i dont support this behaviour in any way i would rather someone do one of those two things to my own car rather than burn it.....Im sure im gonna get flamed now.
