Fromalls Street, Toowoomba
To the tosspot who decided it'd be fun to string baling twine across the
road on Fromalls Street last night - think how much fun it would be, serving time for recklessly endangering human life. You WILL get caught, sunshine - and you'd better hope it's the police, not the neighbours. |

Pete.C http://maps.google.com.au/maps?f=q&h...t,+Toowoom ba From Google Maps the street doesn't look like it's a shortcut to anywhere in particular. The eastern part even end in a court. So, unless the numbnut who set it was trying to hurt some local miscreant (on a trail bike?) who uses that street regularly, I'd be looking at one of the neighbors (probably their kids). Did you consider letterboxing all the houses near the trap? Include a sample of the twine, pointing out the danger it presented and asking them to make a point of raising the danger to their offspring. I did a similar thing when there was an explosion of teenagers on "monkey bikes" on my street. Letterboxing a copy of a police advisory pointing out the illegality of the bikes (and the charges that could be laid) saw them disappear from the area within a month. -- Pete.B |

You WILL get caught, sunshine - and you'd better hope it's the police, not the neighbours. This has to be one of the deadliest pranks I have ever heard of. In fact, I refuse to believe that this was done without considering the consequences. That is a guerilla-type tactic and should be reported to the police as it was pure malice aforethought. What I really would not like to see is this practice made public - idiots everywhere may want to rush out and try it because a cyclist slowed them down once. Scary stuff - I hope you get to the bottom of this quickly. C-stein. PS one and all - I used to post questions here a year or so ago and the regulars here helped me refurbish my old Apollo into "Campagenstein" and it has been going very well since so I feel gratitude to the contributors to this group daily as I ride to work. Thanks again to you all. C. |

It has merit. Local constabulary was informed, but all they could do was record it for future reference. |

When it was repeated, the same again. |
