John, that's because they can't find your place, the last two did a perish in the scrub, I should know Didn't realise you could have a street number on a fire trail

So what time do we bring around the grinders, drills, dogs, boom box, BBQ, and beer for a LR community repair session.

Whenever we finish drilling lots of holes in the exhaust first

Friday arvo, from 4pm. Bbq and beer supplied.

The Commodore gets serviced that day. I might pop on over.

Your neighbour sounds a bit like my brother inlaw - who co-incidently lives in Sunbury, and would be one to complain about a neighbour to council, but I know it is not him as the only lady in his street is when I bring the Disco to visit.

Even though you have not and do not present as a threat to him your neighbour could take it into his head to have an Intervention Order made out against you. He doesn't have to prove anything in the first instance either - it will automatically be granted.

When it goes to court as it must for either confirmation or dismissal as frivolous and unsubstantiated you will still have a permanent record of having an IO issued against you. This can have far reaching effects on your future - think employment etc.

Keep your head down, don't respond and keep a diary of events. This may prove to be a very useful defensive tool later on if matters become ugly.


Good luck!

Exactly.
And if things escalate at all and he vindictively took out an AVO against you any ownership of firearms becomes a no-no.

Its not worth doing anything to antagonise a person like this.

Ok so now I really want to see this mess.
