Rubbish removal

Had an opportunity to visit the block on Monday night as we were in the area after watching our niece, Bella, in her school Christmas concert . Pulled into our driveway and some [insert expletive] low-life had decided to use our drive as a dumping ground for their unwanted household rubbish - not impressed. We found new holes in the ground from the PD soil tests right next to the ones we had done by Henley (taken before we put a deposit on the block). We took some more happy snaps with the cherubs and then drove round the corner to view some local homes. We came across some friends who happen to live round the corner in the estate and as it happens they had witnessed the low-life dump the rubbish not 10 minutes prior to our visit! Thankfully they had taken down the rego and make of the vehicle ;-)













Later that night, I made a phone call to local Constabulary and advised them of the event. The next day I received a call from the boys in blue letting me know that they had visited the site and then visited the 'alleged' perpetrator (who had blankly denied the act) and had been issued with a $220 fine. To top it off, they were told that if they didn't remove the rubbish before the days end, that they would be issued another fine! Later that night a relative went past the block and low and behold ALL the rubbish was gone. Your taxes at work - just lovely.
