Self-vandalism by motor vehicle

Peter from Kamo

Saturday afternoon we heard a car engine, or several engines in turn, scream at maximum revs in the vicinity of the Kauri Hall for 20 minutes, half an hour, 3/4 of an hour? It is hard to judge, because such a thing seems to last longer than it really does, quite often.
A few minutes after 22:00 the same thing happened again. I was considering calling police, but figured that was probably a waste of time, when the noise stopped.
Going out this morning, there were shreds of tyres, quite literally, shreds all over Apotu Road and the intersections Crane Rd. and with SH1, not to mention lots of skid marks.
It baffles me what these people thought they were achieving. I now think it would've been a good idea to go down and take a photo or two of them while they were at it. Maybe next time I will. But why anyone would go and destroy their car in this fashion is beyond me. They must have ended up with bare rims when they were done, considering the amount of chunks of rubber left behind.
