Was motorcycle tipping ever popular?

OK, the latest news I was skimming over showed this....

"Driver flips over tipped Smart Car"

So has anyone ever heard of people going around knocking over motorcycles? I know it isn't as much of a sport since they are lighter.

Some people are just ultra stupid:

There were people posing with his vehicle, taking pictures, Spaans said.

"They were telling me, 'Oh, it's your fault for buying the thing and parking it on Whyte Avenue'. "
Let's see, would they say the same thing to someone who was robbed or raped?

Others were more helpful -- including bikers across the street at a Tim Hortons store -- providing witness statements to cops, Spaans said.

Not EVERY motorcycle rider is a bada$$. I do shudder at the thought of what they'd do to me if I were overpowered by them.

"A 40-year-old man was arrested and charged with mischief, she said."

OK, first - a 40 year old man??? Not some punk kid.

And second - charged with mischief???? You gotta be kidding me - this is grand theft! (vandalism is theft, because the vandals steal the value of anther's property)
