I can't take any credit for that one though; he did it all by himself.

Yeah, I do know it (my brother lived in Wilson St for many years).

ROFL!  There's nothing better than oil for that, too.

They were obviously complete and utter loonies then, as some bikie
"friends" of mine were burgled (way back in 1969), so they called
the police to investigate.  After the cops had taken all the details, they
also took away the occupants, as well as half a dozen plants they had
growing in their garden.  :)

BL> The bikies swore revenge, but in fact they crept away to try another
BL> suburb.

Yeah, discretion is...

Regards, Bill
