A better idea would be to put the operator in jail as current law provides and sell the vehicle out of state on eBay. Problem solved.
They pull this crap in Chicago. Feral “youths” have used them to box in people driving legally to carjack, rob, assault, and even commit murder. Then they vanish and get away because the CPD has a no pursuit policy.
I think they should smash the vehicles AND the drivers.

Jawohl! You vill comply or ve vill crush you!
We’ve got suburban ATV riders in the 8 and 9 yrs old category. Three of them on one buggy have been riding up my street in the dark.
Their parents must have a death wish for them.
Two weeks ago in Easton’s West Ward, police were called for a group of young people riding about eight dirt bikes and an ATV, police Chief Carl Scalzo said.

Somehow, “yutes” can afford multi-thousand dollar dirt bikes and the 5 dollar-a-gallon gas.
In our town in SE Michigan it is golf carts. City and police have warned about kids driving which us only partially heeded. The golf cart people do not always follow traffic laws. (For that matter, at my corner, the cars do not stop for signs either) Someone is going to get whacked.
Harbor Freight has inexpensive steel cable and fittings. Just sayin’
Well, they don’t incinerate the suspected rider, so that’s something.
Here in PA driving off road vehicles on state public roads and streets is against the law. The police, however do not enforce that law. A few years back a teen who lives about ten miles from my house hit and killed my Collie with her ATV, on the road in front of my house. She flipped the ATV and then sued me for a quarter million for injuries she suffered. I demanded my insurance fight the case, but they settled out of court for a hundred thou..... I don’t agree with the law seizing the vehicle, however, that’s not punishing the criminal. You know the government will expand on this if it becomes standard procedure.
Exactly. I’d love to replace my ‘vintage’ quad but even used they are too expensive. Easier to fix it enough to last through deer season ...

Someone did this in Napa years ago for ATV riders in the vineyards. He killed two, was charged with murder, and is doing time.
Driving threads on FR are some of the most entertaining. When the subject of licensed driving comes up, all of a sudden the freedom loving, Founding Fathers-supporting, independent types go scurrying for the protection of the State. This article, at least, shows that the urbanites are their friends, in this.
I was actually thinking that small, expendable transportation and no licensing might be a way to get around the jack-booted thugs. No license to yank, and if it doesn’t happen often enough it might be a good alternative. If this became commonplace enough, it might end licensing your right to get yourself around.
This sounds lefty to me. Leftists blame guns for murders and want to eliminate the guns, not the person using them. They blame SUV’s for killing someone, not the driver.
In this case, the ATV is destroyed. This is so stupid. The ATV could be auctioned off and the monies could be used to prosecute the drivers. It would eliminate the suspect ATV and give the taxpayers a little relief at the same time.
Why not auction them off?
In my state there is a law requiring dog owners to keep their dogs on their on property by a secure fence or chain. If they are in the road, the owner can me cited and the dog is fair game. I would be particularly upset if someone rode an ATV onto my property and hit my dog.
My new YouTube guilty pleasure is searching car jack fail. Lots of fun stuff there but most of it is from places like South africa.
Can this smash policy be extended to weed whackers and gas-powered blowers? - Asking for a friend.
