I live in a farming area so not much ever happens, but someone just blew up a car right out the front of my place. It's cool watching it burn, tyres exploding and whatever was in the car exploding. Damn Fire Brigade will be here soon to put it out. Nobody's burnt a stolen car in this street for about 2 years. One of the drawbacks of living in a quiet remote rural area on the edge of town, I guess.

I hate it when people come by my house and blow up their cars.... happens all the time... LOL

Wow so are you gonna go grab some marshmellows and some hotdogs and make a night out of it?

Edit: Are you sure they aren't just trying to improve the value of their car by making it more road worn? :P

Outlaws everywhere, what is the world coming to?

Cars burning in the night
Tires exploding into light
Sirens scream as they near
Outlaws laughing in their beer
etc, etc

Gotta be a song in there someplace, farlow

Sadly it tells you something about the area where I live. When I rang to report it, they didn't even ask if there were any people in the car and the cops still haven't come around 12 hours later. I have gotten so used to it that my first thought was that my dog might get broken glass in her feet when she walks up the street - then I thought of ringing the Fire Brigade!

It was worse on my previous farm because I had a very nice overgrown shrubby area in one corner. Whenever city slickers were out for a Sunday drive they used the secluded bit for their kids to get out and take a dump!

I'll take blown up cars over poo anytime. That is, unless the wreck of the car is on my property...

You should have put a sign there: "Private property. Tresspassers will be shot". That would have made them think twice about pulling their pants down. Maybe put a mean dog sign too. Or put a "CAUTION: Snakes in the area" or... well you get the idea.
