Hello fellow Rioteers.

I’ve lived in Weston Creek for 3 years now, never had this issue before. However, for the last 3-4 months, we are routinely getting d***heads doing burnouts in our cul-de-sac, then taking off (with headlights off) before anyone can catch them. Saturday night it was a Silvia with a ridiculously loud blow off valve, Monday night was a white Commodore with blue lights on the front.

I sat in my car at the end of the street on Saturday night after two rounds of this BS, they came back an hour later, sat in a side street for a minute, then decided against hitting our street again. I took off after them but lost them (didn’t want to speed on a wet night, in built-up areas).

Anyone else noticed a huge prevalence of burnouts in their area lately? What can be done about it? I know it sounds like a whinge, but I have two toddlers and they’re petrified of the noise – it leaves them shaking.

Any advice? The police can’t/won’t do a thing. Am considering just patrolling Weston Creek with my windows down so I can listen out, track them down and get numberplates.

Ugh. Bogans.
