    I tend to agree that this could well be a bit of a made up story, but why anyone would bother to come on this forum and share it with all and sundry baffles me. And to go online and threaten to do willful damage to someones property is very foolhardy indeed, I'm surprised the forum's management team haven't had 'a quiet word'
    However, there is one way for the OP to prove to all of us doubters that the truth is being told. Why not post a photo of the damage. The only other thing I'd add is that to leave a car unlocked is at best a bit silly at worst 'asking for it' All I can say is if I had friends like that I'd pray that I had no enemies!

    The OP has been advised by a few members that what he has suggested isn't condoned.

    What would you suggest we say? We have no jurisdiction outside of this forum, least of all in Norway.

    All that comes to mind is this old meme;

    Fair comment 'mycarsavw' not a lot you can do really. But as stated by others, it's very silly to come on a forum (any forum) and make threats. You never know who's watching and reading.

    I'd love to see a photo of the damaged TB. Never seen one cut before, it would be interesting to see how they disintergrate.

    There's a few forums and social network sites where you can publish your fantasies and delusions and get positive replies from like minded members. Why he choose this site full of middle aged, right wing authoritarians (Mrs Odds words) I cannot fathom
