Should rip the legs off the little gits that are doing it.
Not the same but I was stood on the beach and kids were throwing stones at the boats with the parents watching.
Another in a different village throwing stones at signs we just put up again with his parents, I shouted at the little sod, his parents didn't know where to look.

Quite....
Slightly more worrying - what has happened to the parents? They're the eejits who let their spawn run riot.....

Yes - showing not much on the surface . Hit one once , but with a jet drive - slid straight over it on the upwards bit of a bounce from the waves - without a mark on the hull !

It'd probably be on the sea bed within 60 secs.
