Dictionary.com has Vandalization but given that we are using English and not American a search on http://www.askoxford.com/dictionaries/ gives nothing for Vandalisation

..and then he'll boot you out of the station at 5 in the morning so they don't have to give you breakfast.

read this on a forum..

Absolutely true, we love to be told that. Suppose I pay some of my own wages too. Does that make me partially self employed?

Just goes to show that you can never do too much for a good boss.....

Actually, I do! But I can quote:

vandalize   Audio pronunciation of "vandalization" ( P ) Pronunciation Key (vndl-z)
tr.v. vandalized, vandalizing, vandalizes

    To destroy or deface (public or private property) willfully or maliciously.

vandalization (--zshn) n.

It's a lame excuse though, I did mean "vandalism".
Ciao,

I suppose if we're not allowed hurt them then mortification might be ok. Damn this being civilised.... If someone chooses to opt of of societies boundaries why should we entangle ourselves in a moral and ethical guilt fest?

erm....well...ummm.....a rusty Sierra with pinked edges migh do the trick, specially if painted girly pink..perfect to parade the numbnutz who like to deface other peoples hard worked for property..

We have a pink minibus over here that is used for unruly schoolkids, it has no heating and windows that don't close, the seats are so close together that the kids get pinned into place and its a lovely shade of pink...the kids love it (not)

What would your choice of method be?

The local police here are known for giving warning shots to the head for such behaviour to property.  Some think they are being overly aggressive.
