When I saw nice chattels it merely encouraged me to try harder myself, I cannot imagine deliberate damaging a strangers property for no reason.

...and I DO know, as (I hope) you now understand.

Forget wasting our money with jail time just force him to pay the full cost of putting it right - he might think twice next time

//Of course I have stepped out of my "luxury bus"//

I meant ...into the actual poverty, sleeves rolled up and actually immersed in it (rather than from the door of the bus into the hotel).

are you an Aid worker Answerprancer?

// I fed a blind kid in Khatmandu who was busking on the streets with a drum, I took him by the hand and physically led him to a cafe and heard about how he's lost his sight at the age of three. //

Luxury. I was woken up in Timbuktu by having a cup of cold poison thrown in my face before being kicked to death.

[Answerprancer]

Try telling that to the kids of today :-)

No retro, just a relatively ordinary bloke doing what he thought was right at the time.

AP, you have been a plonker on here in the past but I can see you are a decent bloke under it all. Who would have guessed a story about a car vandal would have brought forth your Nepalese experiences. A good reminder that we are all anonymous on here.

[Answerprancer]

Same to you R1 Tora ;-)

Answerprancer. //How about: the driver of the car could have been the guy's former employer and had him made redundant on a whim, he could be a drug baron and ***ed up the neighbourhood the vandaliser lives in, maybe he was a bully-boy driver and cut him up aggressively one time too many - there could be a myriad of reasons the guy did this other than just plain jealousy.//

A myriad of reasons but none rational. This man’s actions haven’t remedied any of the problems you’ve listed - they will simply result in him gaining a criminal record. An utterly futile exercise.

[Answerprancer]

You really don't get it do you Naomi - none of what I said is supposed to represent *justification* for what he did so that he can be excused.

Why do news organisations pixelate these photos?
They have not been found guilty or sentenced, but guilt is undeniable.
But they published doctored photos that only protect the criminals - why?

Anyone driving a upmarket super car in Hackney, you would assume they were a drug dealer.

You do know that Sp lives in Tanzania, db?

Try doing that in the UK.

Thought this might cheer you up Tora

I would do AOG if a saw a kid in similarly desperate need - despite the paedo-hysteria.
