From the People can be Nasty files: Notorious yellow car vandalised in Bibury

Gloucestershire -- An "ugly" yellow car blamed for ruining tourists' photographs in a picturesque Cotswold village has been targeted by vandals.

The word "move" has been scratched into the bonnet of the Vauxhall Corsa, which is parked outside owner Peter Maddox's cottage in Arlington Row, Bibury.

Panels on the car have also been scratched and the driver's side window and rear windscreen have been smashed.

Mr Maddox could face a £6,000 repair bill, The Telegraph has reported.

Damn. What makes some people feel so entitled that they can't tolerate a resident's yellow car in their photographs of historic buildings?

Personally I like to see automobiles in old photographs because it's a clue as to when the photograph was taken.

"Timeless" photos of common travel destinations are fifty cents in the antique stores. If they've got cars or people in them they are worth more.

Here's a photo of the same place with black cars in the driveway:

See how easy that was? I didn't even have to leave my chair.

Google Images will get you more images of the same place, some with cars, some without.

complaining loudly about the filthy hippies stoop sitting and fucking up the quaint Back Bay scenery they wanted to photograph each other in front of.

We just raised our middle fingers in salutes until they gave up and left.
