VandalismI got a load of chalk, felt-tip markers and paint from friends one Christmas in a thinly-veiled attempt to get me involved with their plan to vandalise the toilets at the local park. My downfall: Signing my name. Tell us your stories of anti-social behaviour.
Thanks to Bamboo Steamer for the suggestion

Criminal mastermindBank robbery might be taking the definition of anti-social behaviour rather far but stuff it. Some friends and I were walking down Catford High St (south London) one saturday evening around 6pm. The place was absolutely packed with shoppers and, although it was winter and already dark, really well lit. In other words the last place you'd want to be doing something you don't want anyone else to see. Like, for example, if you were a boy of about 14 trying to crowbar open the doors of a bank. None of the many, many people passing anywhere near the bank could have failed to see him which is possibly why the police turned up so quickly. Our budding Raffles was concentrating so hard he didn't see them until the last moment and was swiftly aprehended.
We had a bit of a nosey at the doors on the way back. They were massively thick wooden things and his efforts hadn't even left a scratch. In fact it looked like nothing short of a small nuclear device would make any impression on them. I'd love to know what he was going to do if he got in - perhaps he'd not been in a bank before and thought the money was just lying around?

Ahh, CatfordLived there until just a month ago, you really did get a dumber class of criminal south of the river. My favourite was the bloke who got on the bus to Bromley, pointed a gun at the head of the driver and shouted: TAKE ME TO BROMLEY!
Story here.

Fantastic! I only ever went to Catford once, to see the Blair Witch Project with someone who lived nearby. About half way through the film a guy came into the cinema walked all around the auditorium, along each row of seats, up and down the aisles and in and out of each door. Presumably he was looking for someone, but 'cos of all the publicity the film had had and the extra web coverage and other multimedia stuff (which was quite new and unusual at the time) we thought he might be part of the performance. Seeing the bank robbing yoof just topped off a what's going on here then surreal kind of afternoon :O)
