People around here are too stupid to take the star. A few times I've gotten to my car in a parking lot to find it twisted and misaligned. Bastards, the kind of people who try to take hood ornaments are the lowest, petty kind of human garbage. I think thats why airsoft guns were invented.

If I ever catch someone doing it, in agreement with the other guys on here, they're getting the hell beat out of them. As for pre-schoolers, nip it in the bud he will never touch another Mercedes as long as he lives. And in fact, I like that battery idea. I had similar intentions but didn't have quite the ambition, I thought it would need to include insulation so as not to energize the whole car. Or something. Besides isnt the defense of ones property clearly outlined as justified in the constitution. You mention Colorado?

Colorado Constitution Article II, Section 13

The right of no person to keep and bear arms in defense of his home, person and property, or in aid of the civil power when thereto legally summoned, shall be called in question...

I kinda like that.
