On vandals and spare parts

The world is going bollocks.

No, I'm not referring to terrorist attacks, but to much less important, if significant, things. Some vandals toured the street where I live in Rome, in a nice and quiet residential area, and the result was two flat tyres in a car, a few more cars (including mine) suffering different sorts of scratching and deformations and my lovely little Suzuki motorbike with a damaged piece: the spark plug cover, which will cost me 166 euros to change thanks to Suzuki's spare part shipping policy.

The policy is quite difficult to explain, but goes more or less like: we know you have an old bike and that spare parts are hard to get in the second-hand market, so we will rip you off by forcing you to buy things you don't need and justify it by means of logistical efficiency excuses.

In a nutshell, I really hope that the bastards who raided the street and did all this useless damage will suffer from a couple of weeks' dissentery attack, and that their mums will suddenly divorce their dads leaving them with pizzeria food for the rest of their lives.

And I do hope that Suzuki will revise their spare parts shipping policy, because they're losing loyal customers with this game.
