All slashed up and no place to go

Dozens of tyres were punctured in an attack which left residents of a quiet Dunedin street angry and out of pocket. Police were called to suburban Wakari yesterday morning following multiple calls from residents who woke to find one or two tyres punctured on every car parked in Farley St. This is not the sort of behaviour that should be going on anywhere, especially in my hometown. I live in the general area, and one or more of my neighbours could be next. Two tyres apiece on one victim's sedan and 4x4 were punctured, with the insurance bill likely to be around $2000. In addition to paying the $300 excess, he was unable to drive his children to kindergarten and had to take time off work. Damage to another family's tyres meant the breadwinner had to walk to work, and their two girls had to miss kindergarten while the tyres were replaced. It's bad enough when the main income earner can't get to work, but if you bring their kids into the equation, it's a lot worse. Nobody needs this nonsense, and I hope the cops find the bellend responsible.
