According to locally-published newspaper De Telegraaf police has not wanted to publicize this form of vandalism for fear of copy-cat incidents. However, police officers are paying extra attention to Amsterdam’s canals, especially during the weekends.
The Smart cars are small enough to be parked with head or tail pointing to the water.
In recent years vandals have also targeted other small vehicles, including scootmobiles and tiny cars from the Canta brand — both used primarily by people with handicaps and limited mobility.
In an urban version of cow tipping, yobs apparently derive fun from tipping over these types of vehicles.

Throwing people's CARS into the water is bad enough, but targeting vehicles of the disabled? These guys give other hooligans a bad name!

I don't think its as big a deal as the news is making it out to be. I have spent a lot of time in Amsterdam over the last 5 years, and have never seen anything like that getting tossed into a canal. And I have had an apartment on a canal in the red light district.. The stoners are not the ones doing these crimes. If anything, the stoners are the best tourists.. very polite, and very happy to be able to smoke weed freely. All stoners ask permission to take pictures, if its ok to smoke in certain areas. the local smokers are the ones that smoke publicy and cause the most problems like theft, ect.
Dont go blaming stoners. -
I guess some teens and young "adults" can be idiots even outside the US. It's one thing to play a joke on a friend but destruction of someone's property for amusement is another.

You come out of the bar high as shit, tripping balls only to find your cute little car forgot her arm floaties and is now drowning in slow motion to the soundtrack of Pink Floyd's: Animals. Damn. "My kid can't swim without her floaties", you say to your friends. Mark exclaims back, "I thought only inner city children don't know how to swim. Smarty always struck me as the white, well rounded european youth, who could swim and even tie or fashion multiple knots."
"We had to move out of the country and into cheaper housing, after Smarty's mom sued me for support, that bitch. No way in hell my auto/life insurance policy I took out on Smarty covers, 'Smart Tossing.' "
... silence...
"Fuck it. My stomach feels like I swallowed a tank of helium and Mark, your face is melting into Brians. Lets get some beer."-
