Smart car is damaged when flipped by vandals
Story tools:

Those ultra fuel-efficient Smart cars are starting to show up on local roads, so it’s perhaps no surprise that they’re beginning to pop up in police reports, too.
A multicolored Smart ForTwo coupe owned by Think Financial, a business located in the Cobblestone District in Buffalo, was vandalized sometime late Thursday or early Friday, a company representative told police.
Someone flipped the vehicle, which looks like a souped-up golf cart, on its side while it was parked in the company lot at 26 Mississippi St. The vehicle was damaged on its passenger side.

Here is an article on it in the 'Strange but True' section of the NYPost.
"
It's cow-tipping for the urban delinquent.
A bone-headed vandal in Buffalo flipped a Smart Car onto its side last week, damaging the passenger side door.
The teeny, tiny, fuel-efficient cars, which arrived from Europe this year, seat only two and weigh only 1,700 pounds.
"
I agree with the 'bone-headed' part.

Here is another article in the Buffalo News; "

Oh God, I hope this doesn't turn into another capital punishment thread...

I come from an old family of snipers. Perhaps there is an urban need to dispatch these vandals, graffiti artists and druggies with efficiency. Too bad my eyes are not so good any more. Enough is enough! Haven't you been to Singapore, where it is clean and safe because of stiff penalties, starting with the use of the cane and ending with death for druggies. It works! Now, here in Mexico, we don't have the death penalty but sometimes the police are told to stay away from a neighborhood while 'problems get solved'. They do.

Can we get these prosecuted as hate crimes?

When I get my little guy, I'm gonna hang a sign on him that says, "This car has been smeared with poison dart frog toxin. If you try to tip it, you will be dead before I can turn off the alarm."

Even better:

(Car Upside-down) "Warning to vandals: If you can read this, you're screwed!"

TOTALLY IS A HATE CRIME!!!
