    They seem to go on about it for long enough. I suppose it does involve
    money gathering devices, which are _very_ important.

  3. Using the patented Mavis Beacon "Hunt&Peck" Technique, tallbloke
    "At an earlier magistrates court hearing proseuctor Wayne Lewis said
    over the last four years GATSO equipment in north west London had been
    targetted most suffering a similar pattern of attack.

    Mr Lewis said: 'This involves forcing open the door to the control box
    near the camera, placing an accelerant inside the box, lighting the
    accelerant and closing the door.

    The resulting fire causes considerable damage and is known to
    permanently disable the camera equipment.'"

    Well, that's nice to know, isn't it boys and girls?

    "As part of his conditional bail ..... he was also told not to be stationary
    within 100 metres of any GATSO camera."

    Great excuse to run a red light !!

    You could use a number of house hold chemicals to the same effect, and
    have the excuse that you were just coming back from the shops if you
    mixed it on site as it were.

  7. In uk.rec.motorcycles, Muck amazed us all with this pearl of wisdom:
    You'd need to make sure the shop you just came from actually sold that
    stuff though.

    Given their intended "purpose", there should have been hundreds of
    accidents, leading to death and injury to many millions of innocent
    road users?

    I think the pack of firelighters is easier and cheaper really.

    Expanding foam filler, and a 6mm bit on a cordless drill.

    You don't need diesel, or anything else. Just sugar and one other thing.

    Me? Heh.. I'm just thinking about what people could do. Unless this sort
    of thing is considered thought crime, like in the film 1984. :)
