Its people like you that give the car enthusiast community a bad name.
Im all for giving someone a crack or a bit of vigilante justice but yeah you just went overboard in a big way.
Car theft is an epidemic in the UK in larger urban areas.
The guy i know there with the rapid cossie has locked garage, locked gates past that, two bollards that get lifted up into garage floor behind car each night and usual alarm / GPS.
I didnt even live in a city or anything either!!!
Yeah a bit wack.
She did what she did and justice system will hopefully come down hard but at end of day you dont want her kids and parents terrified by these muppets.

IMO they do a pretty decent job on limited resources whilst remaining apolitical.
anytime I have had dealings with them they have been reasonable but im not a feckwit, boyracer, yobbo etc etc.
he is referring to he pays in lots of under $10k.
Over $10k in cash financial institutions are obliged to identify customer as per FTR Act - which would raise questions.
classic case is where people make multiple deposits just under $10k to avoid detection / transactions being flagged for fraud etc.
Smarter operators use a "front" business ie cash business such as dry cleaners, dairies etc to integrate the cash via "layering" ie falsely inflating takings by adding illegally gained cash to legitimate income.
Its called money laundering as the "dirty money" comes out "clean"
intercooler piping also tends to be shorter, plus in a shunt chances of the intercooler getting damaged are less.
Its one of those things where the time and cost outweigh the benefits IMO but there are benefits for street and motorsport.
