Thank you to everyone for your interest and responses and special thanks to Matt for your interest.  As much as anything I wanted to make the point that people like my vigilante car park attendant and miscellaneous people probably even more dangerous than him, exist and live cheek by jowel with what I consider to be more "normal" people.  They can cause all sorts of problems, expense and misery BUT, our finest public servants either cannot or do not want to do anything about it.  You can't legislate for nutters unfortunately they exist everywhere but, why are the police so impotent?

A couple of slashed tyres is nothing to what some people have to put up with in other neighbourhoods, there have recently been tv reports showing the sort of misery some people are having to live with and yet again the police cannot or will not do anything.  It brings to mind the lady who killed herself and her daughter because of the endless intimidation suffered where the police did nothing to intervene.

It just makes me wonder what laws are in place to protect the public and why are the police so unwilling to even talk to nuisance members of the public but would prefer to treat victims as nuisances instead.  This country is overburdened with CCTV and legislation but how much of it actually protects the public. 

Anyway, my young lodger is moving out and I gave up my car 6 weeks ago.  So perhaps I will just adopt the same could't care less attitude as the police and let this chap get on with his version of good citizenship!
