Yes, Stanley knife or a lock knife, or any knife with a sharp point.
Back last year, we had a p!ssed up guy come down our street and slashed almost every car tyre on the street. Luckily mine was ok as it was on my drive.

Mmm, i think i might be getting closer to the identities of those who vandalised my car. https://www.accringtonobserver.co.uk/sport/campaign-residents-only-parking-around-15009276
It seems not only are they moaning about something that was there before most of them were,but they've even formed their own terrorist wing!
A totally legitimate complaint, which I'd be making too if I was affected. Make it residents only parking for two hours before and after home games, which is what they do at Newcastle Falcons. Problem solved.

Will you be putting Slime in your new tyres Accy?
I heard they did ...... someone got him on their CCTV and apparently he was known to the police. Never found out whether he was charged or convicted or not.

I thought the whole of Accrington's fan base travelled together in a 7 seater minibus?

About 25 years ago a lad we knew snapped about 50 of those old type retractable car aerials off as he was walking home pissed up They caught him. He had to pay for the lot of them!

A Fiat Panda with a piano on the back seat.
Its a lot different now though. Minor crimes like criminal damage are way down the agenda with increasing police cuts, then theres the fact if the CPS dont think they have a solid case they wont pursue it.

The club brings wealth to the area. They should be grateful and stop moaning.

Not just solid, but wrapped in a bow and served on a silver platter. Major crimes and some Crown Court jobs excepted, the average Couldnt Prosecute Stalin lawyer gets the paperwork dumped in their lap the morning of the trial. Conversely, the defence lawyer has months or years to pore over theirs. And that's why they only want slam-dunk cases, because they don't have the time or capacity to get their heads around merely solid ones.
And there's one final slap in the face - the best solicitors go to private practice where the money is. Once the varsity have cleared off, the rest are left for the CPS. It's rare for solicitors to move in the other direction because the hours and pay are poor in comparison.
None of this was a problem until 2003, when minor cases were prosecuted by the police instead. The Officer in the Case had been in it from the start and knew it intimately, and had a much greater involvement in matters. The Government decided that would never do, dumped the whole lot in the laps of the prosecutors, and then introduced a target system so only the dead certs get a look in. Justice went right out the window in the space of a couple of months. Numbers took priority over insignificant matters such as people, righteousness and justice. To some degree it was always a game, but in 2003 it became very much a game indeed, and now the whole tottering system exists not to provide justice - because it does so in so few cases now - but to provide careers for the people that feed off the groaning, tottering system.

About 15 or so years ago i was at my front window looking out,when a young mother walked by followed by her young child. The child who was aged about 4 walked up my path,saw some pansies and decided to pick a few. I wasn't having it,so i went outside to remonstrate with the mother. I told her what her child had done. She shouted back "F..k.ng tell her to stop not me. It's her who's picked your f..k.ng flowers not me"! I often wonder how that child grew up with such a mother.
