Beep At Flats?

It happens round my way too – the culprits being a particular taxi service providing our fair city with ‘service’! Only 1 of the service providers though – the other just sits and waits for their fare.

It can be pretty annoying if said taxi is waiting at sparrows for someone who is obviously about to jump on a red-eye special…

Not as bad as the guy in the ground floor apartment teeing off from his patio and a certain percentage of the golf balls ricocheting back off the pergola structure into the complex at full speed. The joys of apartment living.

I’ve noticed it.

About 6 months back.

An SNPSecurity car used to beep probably 40 or 50 times in a 30 second period as it drove up a certain main street in Lyneham between 3:30am and 4:00am on weekdays.

A call to their head-office put a stop to it. Or maybe it was just a coincidence.

Weird.

Well… When I go past the house of someone I know and they are out the front… I beep at them.
Sometimes if they are not out the front but I can see the tv is on in the front room I beep at them…

I assume it is someone beeping at someone that they know.
But because it is flats there are more of these people doing this?

@Kramer

Maybe the cops should try this approach

So to combat drug dealers we should all drive past the flats honking our horns – especially late at night, or very early in the morning, and moreso on public holidays 🙂

Are you living in the flats on Ballumbir Street across from the Canberra Centre? Then it’s the Illumicube, that pretty Rubik’s Cube sculpture that used to be on Ainslie Avenue at London Circuit, across from the Canberra Theatre. They’ve moved it to the turning circle there. It used to be sound-activated for about ten minutes in the 1980s, and some idiots didn’t get the memo that honking your horn at it no longer makes pretty lights flash.

(I had to look the street names up here, so click if you want to follow along.)

We only blast our horns because artillery is too expensive!

I have heard of this before, this is how it was explained to me but not sure if it is entirely accurate.

Think of it as the Mr Whippy van for drug addicts.

The guys drives around once honking his horn, the people who want drugs go outside, then the honker retraces his route and dispenses his product to the waiting customers. Pretty inventive really.

Its just to keep the dodgy residents on their toes…
