On the way to the movies the other day Luke and I drove past a stockpile of bark that was on council land. There were the appropriate signs stating “Property of Brisbane City Council” as well as “Do Not Enter” yet despite this there was a woman shoveling bark into her station wagon while her son played on top of the mound. There was no way of misreading the situation, this was theft in broad daylight! The funny thing about it was that right next door was the police station with loads of police cars parked out front. So I suppose if the abundant police presence wasn’t going to deter this thief… nothing was!
