Jeez i hate that people that do this actually dont understand in there pea brains what it is to respect others property.
Spot on, I don't care if you don't care about my car but if you respect me you will understand and care that I care about it.

I had an immaculate XY GS Fairmont wagon which, at the time, was unrestored with 35,000 original miles on it. It was a vey tidy, original car. A 'mate' of mine thought it was funny to put an esky on the roof.

I still get angry that after all I had done for him (through the death of his daughter and his wife leaving him) he had no concern for the things that were valuable to me.

15 years later he has never been game to face me, and probably just as well.
