One of the more entertaining stories I heard on the disrespect fron came from a workmate; his brother has a bike. It seems a while back he was parked in a metered car park; he'd put the money in the meter and wandered off. When he came back, some dickwad was manhandling his bike.
When he enquired politely what was going on (without letting on it was his bike), the dickwad explained that the bike was in the carpark, and he was moving it out of the road. Brother points out that the bike is, in fact, legally parked and the meter is, in fact, paid up.
Dickwad says words to the effect of "so what, it's just a bike" and continues wrestling. At this point, brother, rather than doing is nut, waits for dickwad to look the appropariate direction, slips into dickwad's car which is stopped, in the middle of the road, with the keys in, and drives around the block, then walks back to his bike.
Dickwad is panicking, "my car has been stolen!"
No, says brother. It's just been moved somewhere else. Kind of like you're moving my bike.
