Tonight between the hours of 9:10pm - 11:10pm on the 14/03/2005 in the MT Gravatt / Holland Park area in Brisbane, my rx7 was vandalised by a drive by pumpkining. I know the idea of a drive by pumkining sounds hillarious, but the downside is i now have to pay for the damages caused by the incident. I have no idea who perpetrated this act, nor do i have any reason as to why.

This matter will be reported to the police and on top of that i'm offering a small reward for anyone who can provide me with any legitimate information leading to the offending person. Someone knows someone who did this in the area and new the car was parked on the street, which is why we dont think this is a random act.....

Either way here are some photo's of the damage.

Please email plakic@hotmail.com if you have any information regarding the inccident.

Cheers

Philip Lakic

HAHAHA oh man thats f***ing great. "A drive by pumpkin"

Well who cares, insurence has it.

that sucks, but the concept of a drive by pumpkining is amusing

Whats that offtopic thing? Cant get into it, tried registering, etc...

oh yeah u need to wait a few days or some s***.

Thats pretty f***ed up, hope someone gets severely beaten for that.

What exactly does it say?

Is it a copy of this thread or something else?

That is f***en harsh, I don't see how the concept is funny at all.

yeah just someone that saw it here and posted it there I think, suggesting they should have used a brick or cinder block.

s*** man i'd be pissed if that happened to my car. Tough luck dude.

I'll go hit up the leb community in that area for ya. Scums.

That poor pumpkin is totally trashed... Jesus.
i hope they find the people responsible!

Ouch, that's harsh man, even with insurance he'll have to pay excess' for something he didn't do, which aint right.

Did you open the bonnet and just not push it down properly or has some damage gone to the hood as well?

Although admittedly, "drive by pumpkining" does sound funny you have to admit =)

Best of luck catching the guys mate.

was there a note in the pumpkin ?

Depends. With my insurance I pay $50 a year to be able to replace any(1) window every year and not pay any excess.

drive by pumkining does sound hilarious, but not when done to such a sexy car.

that fkn sucks dude, hope you catch the bastards who did it.

Never heard of a pumpkining before, damn funny.

Sorry to hear about the car but. Also, chances of catching the person who did it would be slim I reckon.

Nooo! Not the drift car!

Damn dude :( that windscreen is madly defiled.



Hope you catch the people that did it. That's a fkt thing to do to someone...

It looks as if the car didn't get scratched or dinted so that is lucky I suppose.

Look at the positives

Yeah Kat's right... lucky they didn't break out the trolly barz =P

The fools!

Its Easter not Halloween.

Drive-by-bunnying would have been heaps more effective.

I know the idea of a drive by pumkining sounds hillariou

which part of it? It sounds stupid, pointless, and dangerous to me, and is Yet Another Thing that people should be getting their f***ing ass kicked for if they get caught

did you recently piss anyone off ... tailgate ? make s*** loads of noise in your street ?

Hmm bad luck mate. Screwing with another person's personal property, especially in this manner, is not cricket and f***ing lame, not to mention cowardly. It must take a big man to throw a pumpkin at somebody's car... *sarcasm*

oh well, it's just a rotary :P


but you're nearby-ish, will keep an ear out

oh dude that sux. the offenders are so bashed when u find em.

nor do i have any reason as to why.

Its called jealousy bud. You have a nice ride and no doubt, they have crap.

Lame & gutless turds.

Bad luck man. At leat you're ok. Hope the insurance will pay out for you

Thanks guys, insurance isnt worth the effort, its just a hassle having to get it replaced and then worrying about it happening another time to one of our other cars. My sister parks her little turbo starlet here, i have friends who bring their cars over here, so i'm not happy that it happened in our area because someone else could be next, which is why i'd like to find out who did it, chances of finding that out are slim though.

Bonnet was like that, its got spacers in it so when drifting the excess heat can get out easier.

Cheers

fkn gay c***s..
bad luck dude...

which part of it? It sounds stupid, pointless, and dangerous to me, and is Yet Another Thing that people should be getting their f***ing ass kicked for if they get caught

Yeah the act itself is, but just say the words "drive by pumpkining" out loud and sounds funny =)

Bastards didn't even throw any roast beef.

No reason to assume it wasn't random, if people are egging/pumpkining, its natural to assume they'd hit the nicest car on the street

i refuse to move out to any house that doesnt have at least a 2 car lock up garage for this exact reason. People just cant handle someone else owning something nicer than what they have.

I hope you put that towel there after the attack, i'm sure that you wouldnt travel in such a 'cool' car with such a dorky towel... get a nice dashmat if so.

I like dashmats, especially when they're basically brand new and $10 from the wreckers

:)

no part of this is funny

i would be incensed with rage if someone did that to my car

i hope the cops catch them and they get sorted in jail

DO NOT f*** WITH PEOPLES CARS, we dont like it;

Spoke to the police at Holland Park police station today and the lady who wrote up the crime report says she saw a few pumpkins lying around on her way to work so maybe i wasnt the only one who got a pumpkin in the windshield last night.

I do see the lighter side of it, and throwing pumpkins is definately a step up from eggs, eggs i could handle, but this is going to far :(

f***, thats harsh. Hope u find them bud.

NEVER f*** with another man's vehicle...

Bad luck man, but why in the f*** would they throw a pumpkin?!?! I dont get it Just seems random.

I'll go hit up the leb community in that area for ya. Scums.

2 leb families in that area zub... not really a community is it.

you lived like 5 streets away from us, (before we moved) damn shame this would happen to such a nice car.

thank got its not the rear window that copped it, otherwise you would be paying twice as much!

in mother russia, the pumpkin throws you

I hope you put that towel there after the attack, i'm sure that you wouldnt travel in such a 'cool' car with such a dorky towel... get a nice dashmat if so.

I like dashmats, especially when they're basically brand new and $10 from the wreckers

Man what the f*** are you on about.

I'll keep an ear out, as i know quite a few hoodlems in that neck of the woods. If i find out who did it can i have the car ?

Pulp Fiction has it summed up right.

Lance: Oh, man, that's f***ed up.
Vincent Vega: Tell me about it. I had it in storage for three years, it was out for five days and some dickless piece of s*** f***ed with it.
Lance: They should be f***ing killed. No trial, no jury, straight to execution.
Vincent Vega: Boy, I wish I could've caught him doing it. I'd have given anything to catch that a****** doing it. It'd been worth him doing it just so I could've caught him doing it.
Lance: What a f***er!
Vincent Vega: What's more chickens*** than f***ing with a man's automobile? I mean, don't f*** with another man's vehicle.
Lance: You don't do it.
Vincent Vega: It's just against the rules.

Hey dude I dont think your the only one. I saw another car smashed by a pumpkin on Holland road on the way to work !!!!

Pumpkins aren't cheap are they?

Why aren't these kids spending the money on crack like they did in my day?

PUMPKOWNED!

my cousin was broken down on the side of the road last year and someone threw a tomato at him. thats pretty funny

f*** man...thats just not right...f***ing morons deserve to be shot

It must take a big man to throw a pumpkin at somebody's car..

well they are pretty heavy, and that looks like a sizeable pumkin, not to mention they probably launched it from a moving vehicle. So I'd say it probably was a big man.

Considering all of the above facts an statements, I'd say it was someone who either played League or Union

I'd also be interested in offers on some prime swamp land that's going for $100 an acre


One of the above statements is true, outside of that, what happened to your car was f***in harsh. Why don't you see if Pyscho can forensic the pumpkin an goran their asses (if not hands)

ODSAIGHIDHGKJHDSKJBG!
WTF is with these c***s.
Our windows got smashed tonight and you know what they stole?!!
The f***en car manual........
WHY?!?!?!?!

I don't think it's funny at all?

Who cares it's a pumpkin - it may as well have been a brick for the damage it did. Hope you find the culprits.

Must be some Smashing Pumpkin fans =\

I saw half a pumkin in the gutter on the back road to Carindale the other day (the real hilly road from Greenslopes)

I assume it was from post pumkining.

they should have at least dusted the pumpkin for prints
