BG> Like the young fellow at Logan Village yesterday, who
"borrowed" his 

 BG> father's

 BG> 4WD.  Just 14 years old, he stuck his younger brother in the seat next to 

 BG> him,

 BG> and his 2 year old brother in the back, and took off down the road.  

 BG> Flipped

 BG> the 4WD end to end, brother went through the windscreen, and he ended up 

 BG> with

 BG> severe internal injuries and a broken femur.  Funny thing is that the 

 BG> police

 BG> are CONSIDERING charges!  Bloody hell, I'd lock the bastard up and throw 

 BG> away

 BG> the fucking key.



RB>> I would see these idiots hoon past then half an hour later see the

RB>> cops & Ambulance hoon past.



 BG> Must have really made your day then.  :)



RB>> My customers would get up me for having NO SYMPATHY when they talked

RB>> to me about these kids dying.



 BG> Good thing they didn't talk to me then.



One night, as I was closing up, a valiant hard top went howlin past.

I left right behind him and to pass him I was doing 90mph

to my suprise he turned off onto my road and passed me just before the

curve going down to the little narrow wooden bridge (that was also on a

curve) .

He would have been just 2 seconds in front of me, and when I got over

the bridge, there was an 11yr old walking dazed down the middle of the

road (not a sign of a car).

I stopped and asked if he needed a ride ( he said no he was walking to a

party, so I left)



I didn't know for sure if I WAS seeing things or not, that night.

First thing I saw was a kid walking down the middle of the road.



Next day on the way to work, I saw the neigbour pulling a car out of the

river, so I stopped,



The Valiant missed the bridge and went up a tree that was hanging out

over the water (I went past last night and didn't see it)

It was 10feet out over the water.

The engine had broken off at the bell housing and was in the back seat



The bugger lives to strike again.



The 11 yr old that I stopped for last night, had stolen the car (from his

father) to go to the party after Dad would not let him go out..



The rumour around the school the next day was that a car (ME) had run

him off the road.



I jogged down to the police station and volunteered my side of the story

and the sarge told me I had nothing to worry about and thanked me for

filling in some gaps.
