Today I went to a job some miles away and in a place I infrequently visit. It is a nice estate of houses less than ten years old and all privately owned. The couple in whose house I was working were telling me about the spate of vandalism they have been having. It appears that somebody has been throwing eggs at their house in the wee small hours when normal people are asleep. The guy is an ex-policeman who was forced to retire early because of a sustained injury. It appears that a certain family only a few yards away have recently been in trouble with the law and have taken revenge on their house. Very childish behaviour I must say and totally pointless. No doubt they will cease the anti-social behaviour when they realise this. In the meantime I suggested the couple rig a web-cam to their computer and catch them on record. Either that or wait up and catch them in the act. I wonder what makes some people tick. They seem to feel they have a right to misbehave with impunity. Perhaps an ‘asbo’ should be served upon them.
