Vandalising South Street (and more generally St. Andrews)

[beanie_anne]

Recently I've noticed an increase in destruction all along South Street, and more generally St. Andrews, ususally just after pub closing time.

For instance on Sat night there were wheelie bins knocked over and the Cheesemonger and Sam Thomas' windows were both broken. Tonight two street bins were ripped out of the ground also.

This isn't respectful to the town and its permanent residents. And I actually find it quite detestable.

Sorry, Bill Hicks skit if you don't already know.

Can you prove that this is caused only after pubs shut?

The Madras kids do have alot of time on their hands afterall!

..I've got this pain down all the diodes on my left side...

Well, I can, living on South Street and all, right opposite the cheese mongers and Sam Thomas.

Set your goals way too high so I can laugh when you fail.

If you can prove who it was and when it occurred then perhaps the boys in blue would be more helpful than a load of Sinners...

yeah there are a few broken shop windows on south street but who knows who caused it, accidents can happen perhaps. there was also a fair bit of glass smashing on market street last night...hmm

Off all the windows to smash why the cheese shop. Maybe they couldn't get enough of that cheesy smell. mmmmmmmmmmmmm!

they probably wanted a quick shag, and assumed that your mum was in there judging from the smell

disappointment all round

I don't think the vandalism is anything new...I lived in South Street for 8 years or so and had my windows smashed a few times. It seems to happen periodically, I wonder if the CCTV ever enables the police to catch anyone for it?

Life is like a beautiful melody, only the lyrics are messed up.

They probably just turned off the CCTV once HRH Prince William left.

CCTV doesn't actually stop or prevent crimes occurring. Given an alert operator and a competent police force it can increase detection and clear-up rates. I rest my case.

one of the public phone booths has had the handle ripped off too

who said it was students?

It shouldn't happen at all here. Students aren't children, show just a little bit of maturity, for Christ's sake. There's no excusing it. If you turn into a violent person when you drink then you should not drink, and vandalism is an act of violence. It's not all in good fun either, because someone has to pay for the damage or clean up the mess the obnoxious little cunt in question has caused.

Your mum is so fat that when she goes camping the bears have to hide their food.

The police have already caught the two guys who kicked in the windows. A friend of mine reported them and they were found later with gashes in their legs. Students apparently.
