Beyond A Spanking Offense

There's a line from the movie "Hook" that my kids adopted and quoted often when encountering naughty kids (and sometimes grownups). Little Maggie is talking directly to Hook and she tells him, "You need a mother very very badly!" The implication is that if only Hook had some parental intervention, he might not have grown up to be so bad. I co-opted the phrase from my kids and usually added the line, "He needs a spanking very very badly..."

Naughty is one thing. Kids will be kids is another. But this is beyond naughty, and way beyond a spanking offense. Last night someone of some indeterminate age drove some 4-wheelers through the fences along Higley Road, wreaking havoc. Here's a shot of the damage done on the Higley Groves West side:



The reason The Mister knows that it is vandalism rather than someone losing control of their vehicle is because the tracks make it obvious that the perpetrator went through twice (or possibly there were two 4-wheelers). Then the vandal took the damage across the street to the east side of Higley Groves:




Once again, the HOAs will have to replace the fences at their own expense. Sigh. Vandalism irritates me very, very badly.

If you have any information on the events of last night, please call the Gilbert Police Department.
