Tyre slashing in charlesland park

donegalnordie

This happening to anyone else? Woke up this morning to find one of the tyres on my car done in. CCTV could be the order of the day. Sad when it has to come to this.:mad:

Langerland

Haven't heard of this happening before. Were the Gardai not able to tell you if this had happened to anybody else?

Charleslando

3 or 4 cars had tyres slashed Friday night 2 weeks ago near the top of the park.:mad:

donegalnordie

our neighbour had 2 tyres on their car done a couple of weeks ago. it's bad when this is happening. Must be riff raff from neighbouring estates

Wonder if theres any reason behind it or is it just mindless vandalism.

Mindless vandalism i'd say. I've had stones thrown at my car while driving past a nearby petrol station before. I'm sure people can guess where this was...

Where is this bad estate everyone is talking about?? Honestly, i dont know.

The Guide

Me either! have asked before and no one answered and what petrol station?

Langerland

It was in the Bray People this week regarding kids throwing items (eggs and apples I think) at cars near the Petrol Station in Kilcoole. Gardai were called I think. Ican't wait for Halloween!!! :P

Re the tyre slashing...were the Gardai called/notified?

Charleslando

yeah cops and management company informed, if this happens to anyone else it cud be a good idea to report it also, in the hope that something is done.

Also earlier this week, Monday night, some idiot out of his mind staggering about outside, fell over onto the ground,unable to move,he was arrested eventually.

Things not looking good up this way.

Where are the facts to substantiate your general statement. Do riff raff live in Eden Gate, The Burnaby, Burnaby Woods, Burnaby Mill, Burnaby Lawns, Mill Brook or even Charlesland ?

Dont understand why these kind of posts are allowed on the board, I think its so unfair and anytime posters are asked to be more specific, never an answer - so one wonders what kind of people are behind the statement in the first place. There is decent people and not so decent people in every estate in the Country and statements like the above certainly does'nt come under decent to me.

Everyone is entitled to an opinion good or bad. Some are poor but they are still an opinion.

The Guide

Fair enough, proves my point though dont you think, everywhere has decent and not so decent people, so why should here be any different!

Go for a walk along the nice landscaped path along the river.
Cross river on concrete stepping stone barrels. Once across the border, carry on a bit further and look around. Last time I went across, around 15 teenagers were taking turns at galloping a horse bareback ("jockeying" I believe is the correct terminology) up and down the road.
Nothing wrong with that as such, but lets not pretend you would see that anywhere.

and? are they slashing tyres because they are riding horses?

Hope that border you are talking about is the border of the river, cause if not then I just feel sorry for you, a mentality like that will only come back and bite you some day, as the saying goes 'What goes around, comes around'

There are certain areas around the country where crime, drugs and jockeying horses are commonplace. But lets not draw hasty conclusions. That does not necessarily mean the horses cause bad behaviour on the part of humans, nor can that theory be ruled out.

Curious as to how you know 3 or 4 cars were slashed? did all of the people that it happened to tell you abou it? I live in the park and have heard nothing at all of this happening to anyone. I think its odd your only 2 posts to boards are about tyre slashing and some drunkard being arrested....

I also think this thread is going in the wrong direction, if there has been vandalism done to anyones cars, then the Gardai can deal with it, no point speculating about here to no end.

Charleslando

Firstly, its not speculation, its fact as I've already said it was reported to the police and management company.
Secondly, How do i know? I live there and i know the people who had their tyres slashed.
Is that enough to satisfy your curiosity?
Thirdly, I thought it was a good idea to report other incidents like the OP had as I think that people in the area should be made aware of whats going on and maybe be more vigilant, so I set up an account to do so when i saw the original post. Actually I don't think its any of your business what my posting history is either, in fact I think you're probably just a troll with nothing better to do..

so why mention it?

Blandpebbles

Careful, you can't post anything negative about Charlesland on here without the thought police jumping on you.

It's the council estate folks are pointing fingers at I guess.

Rasmus

Where's the council estate?

Blandpebbles

Not commenting further in that. Take a walk and you will find it has previous posters have stated.

LEIN

This thread seems to have taken the place of the last thread "Charlesland going downhill rapidly"

The advice from the first few posts is to report any damage to the Gardí and management company.
