Vandalizing a VC's Car for Funds

I don't think this screenwriter-turned-entrepreneur is serious -- he is riffing on some recent silliness in L.A. -- but his closing comment on VC fund-raising is still a little strange:

As I write this, I'm sitting in a Starbucks on Sand Hill Road in Menlo Park. I've got a new Web venture — it's sort of a video Craigslist — and I'm looking for investors. There are a lot of venture capital firms up here, and most of them are on Sand Hill Road, so my plan is to vandalize every expensive car I see until someone offers me great terms on a first round of financing.

As an aside, with screenwriters back to to being web entrepreneurs, how long can it be until we start seeing the inevitable Hollywood convergence stories again?
