Yeah, that's the poor little guy who was mentioned on the radio last night... I mean, yes he was in the wrong, but hell man - he's 7, it's not like he knew much better Stupid parents irritate the hell out of me.

Good idea on the Sharpie, that'll work nicely I bet... though aren't battle wounds/scars hardcore? Or is that just for human skin and not componentry?

I've almost wanted someone to take my Rob Roy so I can watch them get pitched off it trying to coast, but at the end of the day, I'd prefer not to have it potentially gone - thievery sucks, vigilantism sounds cool but I dunno if it'd be so effective, there are a lot of people in town that just don't give a crap about anything and I'd rather not get involved in a confrontation if I can help it.
