No link, but did anyone see the mass destruction of (I think) 113 new Vespas in Manila ? Seems the Vespas and a few Harley's and and a couple other vehicles were confiscated in some type crime ring and destroyed to prove a point. Ouch.

Destroyed because buying them back after they are seized is part of the scam.

You'd think there would be enough good condition Vespas the police department could have used them for something? Donate them to a church? Flying nuns? Anything?

Such a waste.

I bet the boys at Piaggio are smiling.
