Kambah car BBQ and a Mawson pursuit

…I tried to phone them a few hours later and was told that they were both on leave and when I challenged the person on the phone I was abused. I gave the rego number of the theives ute and and address to the neighbour who then followed it up with the police who did nothing. In the following weeks a few more cars were stolen and burnt in close proximity. No one cares, really.

Email CPO ACT and ask him to explain why this happened. Im sure he will be interested to hear this.

I was woken up by a noise 2.00am a while ago and discovered some “locals” stealing the neighbours car. I phoned the cops and told them they would catch these dudes read handed if they came immediately. They said “we don’t have any resources” Thirty minutes later a fire engine arrives down the street and puts out the inferno that was once the car. The coppers turn up the next day to interview me but didn’t wait long enough for me to answer the door so they left a card.

Sounds about right from the coppers… But watch out if your speed drifts 5km/h over, they’ll want to know you then…

Yes watch out, when you phone they also update your details, just in-case you haven’t paid that “5Km over fine”. Tickets in the mail.

Yeah, Kambah bashing! I’m with you, I’d much prefer to have a car worth heaps but owe the bank >$20k! Actually no thankyou. I’m quite happy with my 14 year old Subaru that I’ve owned outright for some time now.

I’m pretty happy with my 20 year old subaru. In fact, I bought another one on the weekend, because I needed a speedo cable, and it came as a package deal with a whole car….

And when you pull the seepdo cable out I’m sure there are other wankers out there willing to burn the car for you.

And just for the record, I wasn’t really bashing Kambah, more like the whole southside in general… Watch out Queanbeyan… You’re next 😛

It must be Kambah. 3 cars torched and 8 cars broken into and only $60,000 worth of damage. Sounds like they did the owners a favour!!

Ignorance is bliss eh, Kambah lost a bit of that reputation years ago. The lower classes can’t afford Kambah these days, owner or renting!

I laugh at Canberrans and their stupid keeping up with Joneses attitudes too, i almost own my house and own a still very good 10yo Falcon that i have looked after.

I think it’s because we desperately want to have a ghetto. Just to spice things up. All it shows is how utterly boring Canberra is! Suburbs with “bad reputations” here never seem to keep them for longer than a few years anyway. But the jokes about them linger for decades.
