this might seem like an OT ramble but hear me out
a guy at work has a sporty looking car (dont know what make) in a vile colour ... so vile i dont want to look at the car for fear of wanting to gouge my eyes out
was talking about it to another guy and he says that car colour affects your insurance and that vile colour is probably cheaper to insure than if it was ferrari red british racing green or black
apparantly those colours get stolen more and white and that vile abomination of CMYK rarely do
i told him that when i first lived in cambridge in the early to late 80's all students had pink bikes rented per term from the colleges
now i dont know about you but i wouldnt steal a pink bike even if it was unlocked in an abandoned CCTV less street
cos unless i was going to spraypaint it right there and then i wouldnt be seen dead in town riding it (and if i was a student i think id buy a bike instead too)
...
point?
back to the yob litter brigade
iir we trialed this in the UK ... bright orange boiler suits reminicent of the states prison gear seen in movies
im not sure if this (although humerous to joe public) would be seen as a deterant or a badge to the offenders
but i doubt we could get away with shaving heads sticking em in stocks and tattoing obscenities on their scalps (pitty its one of the things from the dark ages id like to see come back)
