Vandals
Crap,
got a call from our field guy this evening. Apparently some "individuals" decided to have some fun with our field and their ATV's Basically they broke our flight line fences by running up the end and bending the pipes down. Pulled a bunch of donuts in the middle of the field as well. We went out to check it tonite and see how bad it was. Luckily the ground is still hard so little damage to the field but it will take a few hours to re-build the fencing and repair the damage. Not sure what good a police report will do, I guess just hit the field early tomorrow and get to work. Crap like this just pi$$es me off. Sorry about the vent Bob |
A police report may not do much good but I'd report it anyway. You never know .... they may have had reports of others who have compalined and might know who to go after. At least it will be on record and they may keep their eyes open for anyone hot rodding around the area! JMHO

Good point Gary, never thought of it that way.

We're in the middle of nowhere and have had ATV issues in the past (isn't from far away). Got a good idea who is responsible.
Just how do you prove it? Yeah, we'll probably make a report, just kinda ticks me off that it happened Thanks Bob |

Nuker, had something similar happen to us a few years ago at our field. Reminds me when my shop got broken into 3 or 4 years ago. Police basically said they couldnt do anything (they had stolen some stuff and had left some bigger items stashed nearby, the cops found it) We left the stuff (a computer and some tools) where they stashed them, and me and my "large" friend hid all night in the back of a dumptruck in the lot next to us - hoping to catch them when they returned to pick up the loot. They didnt show.. maybe you need to camp out in the clubhouse... :twisted: and greet them the next time they decide to have "fun"..

Ya just the night of the black out we had vandals at Bramalea they tipped over the porto potty, 1 huge bleacher, 3 picnic tables did damage to every pad and stand, ripped outt our wind meter (was told thats about $300) and we had out wing sock torn down and ripped up,bunch of other stuff i can't remember, me and some flying buddies of mine were there early the morning the power came back and saw it :( :evil:

Was the property fenced, gated, and locked????
|
the gates were busted at the time but it is fenced...even if they weren't broken they could walk in through the baseball diamonds

We fly from an old landfill and have done alot of work to truck in top soil and grow grass. everytime we go flying there is always a new set of tire tracks on our field usually truck or ATV. They rip it all up and make mud hole along the side. We filled in the mudd holes with gravel and now they spin around in that to. I just don't get it I mean theres a load of places up there they can go that nobody would mined. But they choose wreck the only peice of land that is maintained. Our punishment if we catch them is that they have to cut grass for a year and fix the field.

I'd say that whoever is doing that has no respect for anybody or anything.
Probably some drunk sob who only has 'FUN' wrecking other people's hard work (probably thinks getting drunk and throwing up a good time, too). :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x Hope he/she/they get what's coming to them! :twisted: :twisted: |
