How is their car getting destroyed months and months later by an unknown party with no tangible links to this particular incident going to prove a deterrent?
It would only serve as a deterrent if you made it obvious why it happened and then you'd just get a conviction for wilfully damaging someone's property.
Great plan.

It's not in any way acceptable. I've never argued it was acceptable.
But then neither is criminal damage.
What if they then torch your car because you poured paint stripper on the Porsche? Then you torch the house because they torched your car. Then.. etc etc. It's just stupid. You just dont do things like that if you have the sort of morals you are accusing the guilty party of being lacking.
Then get a career in law enforcement. It is not our place as ordinary citizens to punish scumbags.
TBH we cannot really argue with Fox, he is legally correct, no matter how bad the situation we (inc me) shouldn't have suggested criminal damage.
As for our place or not, well, historically we have passed the responsibility of punishment to the legal system, the legal system is repeatedly letting us down, we have a similar situation with memphisto and his bike accident, the law (burden of proof) is pretty much on the side of that person, so where the law does fail, what is the appropriate response?
I guess we just have to take it in the ****

So you're happy to just walk away and shrug your shoulders? Let people like this carry on causing everyone else's premiums to increase simply because you won't stand up to them?
It's not really about morals - it's about punishing the guilty party where the law won't do it for you.
That's exactly my problem - the law doesn't punish those who do this. If it did, there would be no problem.
He can be legally correct all he wants. I'm not arguing that retaliating is legal. It's not. But then it's just not right to let these people get away with it either.
HAhaaha!! Black guy is a machine, like a streamline butterfly
Great news OP you sound like a really decent person, glad you got it sorted and good luck with your baby
No, I'm happy to use legal means in order to resolve the issue.
Which is exactly what the OP has done.
A smack in the mouth solves everything.
If you fancy going to prison, sure.
Enlightening in what way? Are you really surprised that people are willing to go to unscrupulous lengths in order to get some sort of vengeance on a slimey person who is willing to try and weasel himself out of something that he has no reason to weasel out of?
Yes, you could run to the insurance company. In this case it has worked out for the man, but what if it didn't? What would you do? Let it go as 'one of those things' and pay for the damage out of your own pocket while he gets off scott free?
What goes around comes around. What some people are suggesting are only acts of accelerated Karma
