How to dispose of VHS tapes

[SimonMac]

Just dug up a load of old family VHS tapes, mainly crap so don't want to go through the hassle of converting them to DVD etc, but whats the best way to safely destroy the tapes so they can't be played short of burning them?

Just write your name on them, that will guarantee they will never be seen.

Go for a drive into the country, unspool all the tape and chuck it out the window.

It'll provide a moment of nostalgia for dog walkers when they see all that brown tape festooning the hedgerows.
