    Sure does the job, but if you feel the need to stay kind and close to legal yet effective, simply sprinkle a load of sugar near the sad feck's fuel cap; then leave an empty sugar bag nearby. Now, what would you do if you have reason to suspect that sugar's been poured into your tank? Do you risk causing expensive damage, by driving to a mechanic? Do you bring someone out to drain the tank completely and flush it clean before next starting the engine? Do you just ignore it, assume it’s a prank, and then drive off, with your neck muscles bunched tightly against the headrest and teeth clenched, waiting for that lovely sound of the engine cough, hissing, missing and dying, never to restart? This prank is nice because it encourages some rational thinking on the part of the offender.

    Alternatively, if you stuff a condom or a small piece of ordinary bin-liner plastic in the loser’s petrol tank, it will unfurl and float around in the tank, eventually finding its way to the sump, obstructing the petrol flow and causing the vehicle to stall, or stutter. Once the vehicle has stalled or is stopped there will be no more suction, allowing the condom/plastic to float free and the car to proceed, for a while...

    I read that the sugar thing was a load of bollocks.

    Sugar in the gas tank
    This popular trick was recommended as a way to destroy an engine, causing great expense to the recipient of one's revenge. According to proponents of this act, the sugar turns to syrup in the gas, burns and melts, thereby destroying the engine.

    The truth: Won't work! Sugar doesn't dissolve in gasoline, so it just sits there on the bottom of the fuel tank. The only way to stop an engine with sugar is to pour so much of it in the tank that the fuel pickup draws enough to clog the filter.

    Hang on, there's a whole bunch of frangs hanging about at the start of Walking Street impersonating police officers and they seem to get away with it. They have a nice uniform which says 'meddling do-gooder' or something on the back.

    If your builder has screwed you more than the kitchen cabinets, you might piss in the green concrete of his next pour.

    If I don't get a promise from the "Driver" to STOP the noise pollution at the first opportunity, I will be making a citizens arrest and will escort them to the nearest plod house where hopefully they will be incarcerated until they change their evil ways!
    You might want to be careful. I don't think the concept of "citizens arrest" translates well in Thailand. You might want to wear a bulletproof vest when you make your arrest.
