I wish someone would invent a small, hand-held or hood-mounted guided missile system for such sightings.
I built one of those in high school that was "tail mounted". A bit of clothes-hanger, an Estes C engine, balsa fins, and a "hotwire" igniter. Several of those had "cherry bomb" payloads... Did wonders to discourage tailgating, etc.
