2am, trying to get to sleep, then the doof doof idiots decided to do a tour around the neighbourhood. What is it that is so attractive about a sound system that is so loud it wakes people up and literally shakes the windows. My taxes are contributing to the health system that has to cover the hearing problems to come.

To rub salt into the wound. We got up this morning only to find some drunk a-hole decided to use our car as a target. At least a few hundred $ damage on the door. Drink + Saturday night = lunacy. Their mothers must be proud.

I tell you one thing. When my two sons were at that "thoughtless" age they knew better than to do stupid idiot stuff like that. Right from wrong is not rocket science. Consequences for actions is absolutely the only way to go.

Yes, I am getting on in years and some people may say I'm a little harsh. No matter the age, respect for other people and their property is surely not too much to ask.

Oh, I feel for you. When I lived in London I had "hoons" jump on my car's bonnet and roof damaging it substantially. My exterior house walls were also spray painted / tagged. Maybe things are better here, but I wonder why we should accept vandalism and destruction. However, this Australia! Not a lot was done in the UK.

The residents in my Australian street are challenging the local council, who agree with us, but are restricted by State regulations across various roads, transport and road safety regulations as well as privatizing of facilities. When will sanity prevail? I guess when the next elections happen and money is available to help the people who are being impacted - not possible I think..
