Geezus H Christ on a bike. :shock: Glad she's OK, that would have been a fairly disturbing incident, definitely a WTF moment.

So much of your hard work wasted, Plan B had better be a good one :wink:

They've been doing this forever. How many times has a delisted player who played, like, three games been referred to as a "former AFL star" in the press? Lol.

Backyard was excavated. Pipe fixed, hole refilled. They’ll come back in a month with more top soil as the current lot will compact.

The engineers will be sent a report with camera shots of the pipe. Sounds like it will need relining and that will involve a neighbours place and potentially up the street at the neighbours place.

Cheers BG. Certainly very scary for Mrs WPT. It’s a storm water ? 1920s or 1930’s era. Small concrete storm water that is a local government responsibility that feeds into a large Melb water stormwater.

The excavator who’s been doing it for 40 years said he’s never seen such a big backyard sinkhole.

Local government bloke and this contractor have been fantastic. They’ve done a really neat job and have been really thoughtful.

Thank whoever for ring cameras!

My daughter is in Japan, she just rang and said someone is hanging around her place, I said hit the siren, so she did! Video shows a bitch about to have a look in her letterbox.

I was out the door in my pjs so hubby came too! The person was gone but the ferals next door on the corner, facing the other street if you know what I mean, had a heap of cars out front. We made a bit of noise out front, I had my phone to my daughter on speaker. We checked everything and hoped in the car. Drove past the ferals, saw them in the garage, said to my daughter, was she wearing a puffer jacket and a ponytail, she sent me the video, yep the neighbour! I thought she looked a bit sheepish!

So tomorrow I’ll go put a lock on her letterbox, and walk passed the neighbours slowly a couple of times!

Yes bitch we can see you!

I bought it for her before settlement, I have so many set up I should have shares in the company!

3 at the beach house, which caught 2 kids trying to open the front door, I also have chook cam, sheep cam, etc here at the farm, and doggie cam at home for when we go out!

Honestly, it’s the best!

My hubbies sister bought one for the beach house as a present, because we helped her when her house was being built. The first week she moved in She caught someone casing her hot water unit, she gave the footage to the cops!

I went to her place this morning and put a lock on the letterbox, did a sweep of the house, and slowly walked past the bogan neighbour’s house, loudly talking on my phone to my sister about how good it’s to have a cop on speed dial! Hopefully they are smart enough to not shit where they live from now on!

I damn hate thieves!

I bought 2, picked them up just before from the post office on the way home. Just waiting for the first one to charge so I can finish the setup. How long do the batteries last before they need recharging?
