Last night Adam heard a thump outside. He went out to investigate, and found a rollerblade on our roof! On further investigation, there was half a scooter in our yard as well, and a whole scooter outside the fence.
There were some kids hanging around so he asked them if they were responsible and they denied it (but then what were they doing hanging around?)
Adam decided that it would be sensible to remove the rollerblade from the roof, so picture the scene:
8.30pm, cold and dark. Me holding the torch. Adam on the step ladder with an impromptu claw made from two old meat hooks attached to some rope, hurling it at the rollerblade which is lit up for all the world to see by the torch. He got it down after a few attempts - I was impressed!
The kids were still hanging around so Adam called the local police, who said they'd do a driveby. Not sure if they did or not in the end.
We've kept the rollerblade and scooters, in case someone comes looking for them.
It was all very bizarre!

That is odd. How old were the kids? Perhaps they had stolen the items. You could put a note in the local paper.
What can you say, hey, Wyoming bogans. I know that Hamish will not grow up to do such stuipd things :) where are these kids parents, I wonder?
I hope they don't do any more such things.
After all, you gave up throwing eggs at neighbours......
