Reporter says owners of nice cars are 'asking for it' and deserve to be vandalised

She is of course a member of the global 1%, owning a house and a car, but I'm sure there is some logic here.

I understand where she is coming, from but Envy is not a good emotion as where do you stop?

Even when I had 'bugger all ' I wouldn't have done what he did. It is wrong.

I have rarely read such utter bks.

I am not in the least interested in swanky cars and I do pootle along at the speed limit in a 12 year old Polo. But nobody has the right to damage someone else's property just because they are jealous.

I don't get why someone wants to spend £90,000 on a car but so what? The owner presumably loves cars and if that's what he wants to spend his money on then he has every right to do so. I wonder if this stupid reporter also thinks it would be OK to throw bricks through the windows of very large houses because they clearly cost a great deal of money?

Reporter is a twat.

There is no logic.

DH and I are very fortunate and have very expensive cars, have had vandalism problems a good few times. I understand how a particularly bitter and strange person would do it but I certainly don't think we deserve it. It's out money, if we want to spend it on those kind of things that's our business.

Like 5foot5 says, would it be ok if it was a beautiful and expensive house being vandalized just because it's expensive? No, of course it wouldn't.

Victim blaming is never ok

I drive a 3.5 yo Citroen. But someone saw fit to key that last weekend. I was devastated. It will cost me nothing (company car) but time. But I still feel violated.

She is an embarrassment to journalists

Vandalism is vandalism

End of

Well, you do get boy racers in Fiat 500s, and that pretty much sums up her qualifications on this subject.

The principle of feeling righteous by damaging ostentatious signs of wealth should be the domain of the anti-capitalist protestors.....

"Comments are closed on this article."

ha ha, I bet they are.

Would she agree that reporters who write stupid articles have only themselves to blame if someone tips a bucket of water over their heads?

Probably not.

And , wtf is winking at the ladies , laughable really ....

Vandalism is vandalism, whether it's a million pound super car or a knackered old banger.

its unpleasant because it's implying that the vandal is displacing violent anger onto a possession but really, it's you they want to harm.

There's never an excuse for it, no matter what the excess. If I saw a fleet of supercars being driven by zillionaire playboys I'd probably have a moment thinking 'sigh, that cash could be better spent, eh?' But I'd never in a million years vandalise one of their cars. That kind of mentality leads only downwards.
