Right... 🙄

I wonder if the fines are enough, assuming they find the people? I've heard that it's cheaper or more profitable to just accept the fines. > Councils can issue a maximum on-the-spot fine of $3,000 for illegal tree removals by individuals, or $6,000 for businesses. Mr Wrightson said the council was getting legal advice about the best course of action, which could include seeking penalties of up to $1 million through a prosecution in the NSW Land and Environment Court. 300 tress x $6000 = $1.8million That's big if you chopped the trees for one house, but what if you chopped them for 10? Perhaps you would still get more than $180,000 extra each if they had better views?

I left my room for 15 minutes to visit the shitter and came back to this:   It also hit my shelves twice and my sheets thrice. My mattress protector now has avocado spots.  My window was about 10cm open at the bottom, so whatever the perp was it had enough of a brain to know how to get in and out withing getting stuck. No-one heard or saw anything. Given the high level of sophistication, speed and excellent criminal execution: I suspect an Indian Mynah may be at fault. I swear they understand English and spend their whole lives plotting schemes. Artists' impressions of the crime:   I would like to assume this wasn't actually malice and instead the Mynah was just curious, but I still think I need to consider appeasement strategies. Suggestions welcome.

What a load of bull dust
