It may also be crime evidence. To dispose of the wreck without police and the owner's or insurance company's permission constitutes theft under the law. So, until the owner/insurance company is found and advised and then makes arrangements to remove the hulk, it stays there.<br /><br />To assert that "some authority" is not doing it's job is perhaps an ill informed assumption.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19288377.post-20359178650329296862010-01-20T12:03:00.971+11:002010-01-20T12:03:00.971+11:00Hi Gaye

I think it must be some sort of warped entertainment exercise for the moronic. If vandals can be caught and forced to do hard manual labour in the clean up process, perhaps there would be instilled some sense of responsibility. And perhaps it would set the occasional offender on the right track and therefore result in a human that contributes in a worthwhile manner.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />GayeGayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02899430268722758947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19288377.post-85194543679821302842010-01-15T09:41:33.804+11:002010-01-15T09:41:33.804+11:00Hi Mick and JL

A sort of no-man's-land apparently.<br />.<br />I am going to the Police Station to formally report it today (with my photos), but it has been "rung in" to them by NPWS and also local landholders already.<br />.<br />Problem is not the clean-up, of course. Real problem is the thieves and vandals who do it in the first place.<br />.<br />Cheers<br />DenisDenis Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10031115992910569116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19288377.post-1236647101889247502010-01-15T09:12:00.594+11:002010-01-15T09:12:00.594+11:00I agree with you, Denis - I cannot understand the ...I agree with you, Denis - I cannot understand the mentality either.
