Car surfers on Jennings Road (Lounged)

[AcedOut]

Last night I witnessed around 3-4 teenage 'hoodie-types' walking down Jennings Road at around around 10.30. One of the thugs 'jumped' on a Golf GTI (VR6?). One of the other guys on the phone was bragging about it to whoever he was talking about.

Did anyone else witness this?

[seanmlow]

hope they stay away from my BMW.

If I was dressed and fully awake at the time, I'd have chased after them. I regret not doing it now, but then I probably wouldn't have been able to control my actions.

The cost of car insurance in ED has prevented my purchasing a decent car for a while now. Now I know why. When I do, I'll be installing CCTV from my house!

[seanmlow]

I would have gone after the little sh*ts with a golf club!

> I would have gone after the little sh*ts with a golf club!

Would you really? I wish I could say that. Sadly, like most (and fair play to you if you're not one of them), the risk of me coming off worse in this encounter discourages me from doing anything other than unleashing a menacing glare and tut and moving swiftly on. How did we all become so cowardly?

[LuvPeckham]

It's not cowardly, it is simply a case of questioning "are they carrying a knife or gun?"

It's sensible really, and I hope Acedout called 999 to report them

Where's my .22 BSA Meteor?

What if you missed? You would probably hit someone?s car instead.

[kford]

It wouldn't make a mark, it's so feeble :(

[seanmlow]

to be fair, I probably would have missed. My swing is not what it was...

I once chased some kids doing something similar in Clapham.

They ran for their lives. In fairness, so would most people if being chased by a 15 stone guy only wearing pants, effing and blinding.

The walk home was one of shame I hope not to repeat....

A .22? You want one of these:

Scare the shit out of the little blighters. As the boys in Pulp Fiction put it:

Vincent: What's more chickenshit than f*cking with a man's automobile? I mean, don't f*ck with another man's vehicle.

Lance: You don't do it.

Vincent: It's just against the rules.

Yeah and if you fill the shells with salt it will only sting a bit.

Lounged i.e. moved to the Lounge area because it has gone off topic, is no longer East Dulwich related and is just silly but may carry on regardless in the unrestricted Lounge area.

[AcedOut]

-- moved topic --

[Moos]

Giggling a lot at that, Mr. Administrator - your usual authoritative and stern tone lost a little something with 'and is just silly'.

>:D<

Haha! Having visions of my possibly soon to be new neighbours running round in their undies in the street! yup! certainly doesn't sound like a boring place to live, thats for sure.>:D<

Undie running in East Dulwich is as traditional as cheese rolling in Gloucester. That and the annual "flog a hoodie" event at Goose Green makes us very special. You'll love it here!
