All I can say is good for him. Of course, here in Western Australia he’d undoubtedly wind up doing more time than the thieves for wasting police time.
Round like a shot

Just received this from a friend. Nothing to do with cricket but too good not to share.

Marcus, why has half of England shifted to Perth?

Brilliant.

Probably because of the climate- This probably makes us Britain’s version of Florida?

These England Tests will start at a good time for you in Perth. It’s 10.30pm already here in Wellington, and I’m not staying up too much longer!

Yes- unfortunately they’re not televising any of it until the fifth day- there’s some sort of boxing special on instead. Which is really puzzling, as we caught all of the first Test.

Sheesh. Meanwhile a real armed emergency on the other side of town went unreacted to because the armed response unit was busy due to the boy who cried wolf. Get some perspective: gun crime vs. petty crime. Drive-by shootings vs. someone nicking your lawnmower, some shears and a few tins of out of date paint.
And the shed probably wasn’t even locked.
Ho-hum. At least England are only one down at lunch, even if they should have scored double that.

Hmm…I don’t know. I remember this case in Perth recently when some hooligans used to come to this guy’s property and graffiti it. He called the police several times over a number of nights and was ignored. The next time they came, he went out with a gun and fired into the air- naturally he was the one who was charged, not the graffitists themselves. Maybe incidents such as that and the one above would be ignored if the police cracked on on “petty crime” more seriously.

Yeah, the zero-tolerance policy — they used it to clean up New York City.

Cheers, Will - quite an amusing one but I’m afraid I’ve heard it before. An ‘urban myth’, I think.
