I bet the local tyre shop owner is rubbing his hands together.

be serious, there probably only second or third time offenders, another slap on the wrist and fine of £50, which there parents will pay for with their benifit money. That should sort it out.


after that these kids will grow up to be priests and doctors.

We had this about 5 years ago in a town a few miles from me, turned out it was the local tyre company paying the yoofs to do it.

Some poor ******* had all 4 tyres slashed and then within a few days of having a new set fitted had them done again.

More justification for my proposed 'Criminal Retribution Bill', where an offender has the same crime bestowed upon them for life. When it's their car being damaged I bet they wouldn't like it too much, especially when they're into their 30-40-50's and they have to explain to their little b@st@rds why a policeman just slashed the tires on the family car and then keyed every panel

They would not bother to turn up and no one would chase them up anyway!

Looks like you live in a nice place though Pete.

Many moons ago a truck on the M61 dropped a pallet of industrial cutting blades! It took hours to recover all the cars and I think the tyre count was something stupid like 150!!

That's the only reason I mentioned it, there was a story going around about a local tyre shop doing the exact same thing near where I used to live.
