Several threads going on about inexplicable behaviour and here's one from my local Nextdoor feed

Hi everyone. The person in the photo walked past our front door and we saw him pick up a rock, walked towards a neighbour's car but he was in it at the time so he backtracked and he came around the back and smashed my car. We heard 2-3 thuds and there are scrapes on the front and the side of the car, so he did repeatedly.
No idea who he is or why he did it.
I called the police and they told me to report it online which I have done.

Blimey,  that's awful.   
He looks a shifty bugger doesn't he..

[Scrumpy]

Horrible ... I reckon he would do it whatever the weather..

On my NextDoor was a pic of three boys in school uniform.. 10/12 year olds..
They were casually walking past a house after throwing and destroying FREE veg that a lady puts out on a table.. Veg from her allotment..  The pic was handed into the school..

If I find something that might do someone a good turn I'll put it on the wall. I found some wheel hubcaps and put them out. If things don't get taken I'll just bin them. I went out for a walk about later and found them strewn all over the footpath. Some were broken so I put picked them up and binned them.

You won't see them thrown very well in this but can hear the crash as they were right at the end.

Senseless, what a moron.

[Mups]

I just don't understand how some people's minds work.  

[muddy]

Me neither Mups 
The idea of doing wilful damage for its own sake has never occurred to me .
It must be some envy.
People damage cars which are horribly expensive and the poor owner who needs it to go to work has to pay/the bill .
For what ? 

[Michael Rolls]

I just don't understand how some people's minds work.   

What minds?

Another day and another report of lunacy....

How could she ?  I'd run a mile from a rat

I get batches of them here,  they come after next door's chicken food.   
I am fed up with it,  and he doesn't shut the hen house door at night, so the rats probably go in for a party and a free feast.

At the moment I seem to have won again (until the next lot arrive),  but they munched through 9 blocks of bait in two nights to get rid of them!     

I have to be ultra-careful with bait because of my dogs,  so I nail the block bait down to a long strip of wood,  then slide the length of wood up inside some plastic sewer pipe which is hidden behind the shed,  and then its all  fenced off so the dogs can't get near it.
