Went out to the shed this lunch time & heard one of the kids next door say to his m8, " shoot that umbrella down there". As I look over the other neighbour's, I saw their garden brolly get shot. Then after another shot the lad says again to 2 girls that just arrive, "look at that hole I shot right through the gutter".
What do I do? ring the Police that's what. I explain that I've just seen a neighbour's brolly being shot etc.."right Sir, we'll send someone round". 10 minutes later, and sure enough, 1 plod arrives in a panda. 5 minutes later he's off with no word to me or the other neighbour who's property was damaged, and empty handed.
The kids doing the shooting are 16 as they are sitting final exams, and their parents are out. I'm pretty sure if it was me doing the shooting, I'd be in the cells right now.
What do you all think?
