    Paper reports the usuall "hoody wearing youths". Nearly all such crime is related to them in this manner. Assault, theft from shops windows/cars etc. Lawnmowers out of sheds the like.

    They'll have anthing that ain't bolted down to be fair. It was either them or the Pikeys before they left the local park.

    A custom R/C car, using the Balsa wood for the Chassis, and the parts from one I have.

    Hopefully it'll be a decently looking Eagle 2, but I am wondering what to make the body from... polysrene seems a good choice! :D
