Anti Vandallism protection

After some nice kids set my cheap runabout alight yesterday (C Reg VW Polo), now burnt-out and written off, I have to buy a replacement car. I'll buy another polo as I have loads of spares for them "in stock" and it never let me down once in 3 1/2 years hard service. Unfortunatley it's not worth me losing my no-claims to put it through the insurance for a cheap car, so I have to buy the replacement out of my pocket. - I can protect the no claims when it reaches 4 years - in 4 months time! Any ideas how I can discourage the little sh1ts doing the same again to the replacement car? Does anyone take any notice of alarms?

They returned after my car had been put out by the fire brigade and torched another car in the same car park, a J reg MKIII astra van. Looks like "older" cars are the target.

Perhaps a portable 8ft high barbed wire fence complete with watch tower equipped with a machine gun MAY stop them.........

An alarm isn't going to stop them setting your car alight !! First step may be a locking petrol cap so they cannot stuff a rag down it.

Bastards. I suppose if you have some time to waste, or if you just wan't a good laugh, you could contact your local police about it.

Didn't go for petrol cap (locked anyway), but broke in and after throwing my glasses out and crushing them, then set fire to the inside. Also have to get new glasses :-(

Our local police are godd. If you keep complaining they get fed up of all the phone calls and do something about the proble. All you have to do is buy a fleet of old cars, then after a few have been torched ...
