Believe you me, the thought's crossed my mind more than a few times. But I've been trying to channel my energies into tactics that a) are legal, b) can't easily be traced back to me, or c) are things the police will decide aren't worth investigating, or will settle for giving me a stern talking to instead of real trouble if they notice me.
At this range, laser guidance systems would be pointless. Since the ones I'd want to hit are either parked or stopped at a red light, I wouldn't even need to practice leading a moving target. But I'd probably only get to do it once. On the other hand, if I could hit them with a big enough EMP to cook their stereo (and, aw darn, maybe their electronic ignition at the same time) without damaging anything in my house and my neighbours' homes, I could probably do that a bunch of times before anyone thought the coincidences interesting enough to investigate.
The advantage of a noise blast is that the message isn't likely to be missed due to excessive subtlety.
But I admit there'd be a certain cinematic satisfaction to the missiles.
