Yes agreed npinks in many ways, i can't say too much but the catalyst for our system was having such "Good Neighbours" and I add hastily not the ones either side.

I like to add anecdotes and this one is of the Police arriving accusing me (pre cameras) of trying to shoot said good neighbour. It is obviously a longer story but having been trained by a well known bunch associated with Hereford how to shoot I did make the point that any shot would have been dead square between the eyes and not as claimed a near miss with intent to kill. Weapon returned after a couple of weeks of course and no charges.

The Very Young Girl Copper just managed not to throw up when I handed her the dead squirrel and pigeon I had shot prior to their arrival.

I just hope his car never blows up under suspicious circumstances as I used to have a private use explosives licence.  FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years

Many years ago on Sydney's northern beaches there was an ongoing episode of cars having their tyres regularly punctured through the side wall up and down the street! Hundreds of tyres later they eventually caught the culprit who had been hit by a car and was having his revenge. It was a dog!

Happened to me on a farm where we stayed most weekends 40 years ago in our cavers hostel. Sheep dog got it in its head it liked the pop of a 2CV wheel. Took 2 tyres on differing weekends before I saw it do it and told Mr Farmer. Some ways I wish I could have said nothing as he shot the poor little sod stone dead there and then  FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years

The good news is if the holes are small enough they can be repaired regardless of where they are on the tyre. You'll have to send them to a qualified 'major repairer' that can carry out the repairs to the relevant British Standard. Don't believe the Tosh that kwikfit etc will tell you that they cannot be repaired. What they actually mean is they cannot be repaired by them because they're not qualified enough. Meridian tyres in Bristol are my preference for major repairs. I feel your pain. I was the victim of the tyre slashers once, 10 tyres in total done on my defender and disco 2...
