So far I've had:

  1. an emblem stolen
  2. a foot long key scratch put in the fender
  3. lit cigarettes tossed on the hood and back spoiler 3 or 4 times
  4. coffee poured all over the hood
  5. the car spit on 3 or 4 times

    [/list=1]



    Haven't had a booger yet, that's a new one.



    It's all the spoiled brats in the neighbourhood (sort of upper middle class), no mall for them to hang out in. They always seem to go for the best kept car in the neighbourhood and I'm it :( .
  1. What the heck?!? I didn't know Ottawa had a "rough neighborhood"! :eek:

LOL. It's those bored suburban kids. I used to live in a somewhat rough neighbourhood in Montreal. I was always comfortable walking alone, at any hour of the night.



Then I moved to the 'burbs. I've been scared by bored teenagers here a couple of times. Once, they were throwing bottles at passing cars. :scared

Taxlady's right, it's bored kids with no parental control that cause all the trouble. There's no no shootings, muggings etc just a lot of petty theft (bicycles, cars & houses broken into etc) & vandalism.



I spend about a month in Moscow every year. While there's a lot of petty theft (as you'd expect in a poor country), you seldom see vandalism, people seem to respect others property more. And the jail time if your caught is probably a good deterrent too.



Vandalism is a product of our middle class society, kids who are given too much never develop respect for their own or others property. And 99% of the kids are good, it's just a few bad apples who need their butts kicked.



There's my rant for today...............
