Well, some of you may already know this, but I feel like ranting here as well.
What drives people to vandalism or generally destroying other people's property?
I've got a motorcycle. It's parked outside my flat. It's in a bit of a sorry state as I hade an accident on it a few years back. Going too fast round a corner, hit the kerb, and it high-sides me. I've been meaning to repair it so I can ride it again, but crap weather and no real place to do the work has kinda been a negative influence.
Now, the bike has been a victim of a number of incidents:-
While parked up, the bike gets run over, caught under the bumper of the car and dragged about 10 feet across the car park.
Someone has a go at the steering lock and tries to pinch it.
Some kids use it as a play thing and it keeps on ending up on it's side.
It gets kicked over.
And today, I go out to check it over before soeone thinks of buying it. It's been turned round, the battery is on the floor looking a bit sorry, and fuel is leaing from somewhere.
This is just another example of the degradation of society. People have no respect for other people's property, or indeed for other people. I've often had to deal with inconsiderate people making excessive noise at inhuman hours of the morning, and what can only be described as gang arguments in the carpark.
I really think I oughta consider moving. :-(
