Two more instances of Smart car "tipping" occurred overnight in San Francisco's Twin Peaks and Cole Valley neighborhoods, according to police.

The latest "tippings" of the small two-seat cars were reported at 3:41 a.m. at Clayton Street and Parnassus Avenue and at 5:38 a.m. in the 1300 block of Clayton Street, near 17th Street, according to police.

These incident follow a series of tippings reported about two months ago.

Three Smart cars were tipped early one morning in April within a 10-block radius near Bernal Heights.

The prank is considered felony vandalism, according to police.

LuLu & The Cowtippers have a pretty good alibi for this latest rash of incidents, but they are well known as being among 'the usual suspects' in these type of affairs a bit further South along the Coast, and should always be regarded with some suspicion.

I remember hearing of a VW Beetle sitting in a teacher’s classroom when he came back from lunch.

I just looked at the pictures in the story. They DID lay down blankets to keep from scratching the car.

Most liberals are, at heart insecure and immature. They need their egos stroked constantly. Above all else they need to feel like they are “good people”. Because of their immaturity and insecurity they are followers, not leaders. They need others to validate them and boost their fragile self esteem. Because of this they are susceptible to being manipulated. They bend to and fro on the winds of fads and popular opinion. Liberals buy these kinds of cars because somebody told them they’re better for the planet, and “good people” want to “save” their planet. Liberals do not buck trends. The two hardest words for a liberal to say are “I disagree”. Now I ask you, do we really want these kinds of peole running our government?

Smart car requires premium gasoline, which makes it a poor choice, imo.

Personally I like the 1989 Batmobile from the Batman movie with the big flame shooting out the back.

That isn’t a Smart Car.

Might have been a compact CUV. Now it’s a Super Compact.

The car I’m looking at for my next car is a Chevy spark. It has a direct injected 1.2 liter four, gets 40 mpg, has some ungodly amount of airbags and a 5 star crash rating. Despite the fact that I’m 6’4” tall it’s comfortable and roomy inside (the trunk is kinda a joke but you can’t have everything) and they start at $12,500. I commute 50 miles one way and to cut my fuel usage 25% comes close to cutting the overall cost of operating the vehicle by a third. The spark comes with a/m f/m X/m radio standard and a touch screen that is bluetooth capable and smart-phone friendly. For the price you can’t beat it.

I'm sorry, but these IttyBittyMobiles just cry out to be tipped over.

We used to take a VW bug and turn them sideways in the parking spot so they couldn’t get out.

My thought exactly.
And it may even have a form of rebellion involved, tipping over the car of an arrogant elitist.

That one is easy: fire off a round or two. That will result in quite the attitude change

That’s nothing. If liberals get their way that car will be consider big so they will want us to use a similar like this:
