A timely warning to the residents in Welcome Bay in the vicinity of Osprey Drive. There is a moron with only a cup of custard for a brain in his/her head living in our area. Several weeks ago this person climbed over my boundary fence and removed our aluminium flag pole from its base and left via the fence.

The offender obviously was not of the patriotic type, because he/she carried the 16ft pole about 50 metres up the road and then, using a tree limb, bent the pole into an unusable shape. We then had to purchase another so we could continue to show our patriotic pride in our country by flying our national flag.

We have to wonder at the mentality of this person and what perverse pleasure was drawn from such a pathetic bit of (drunken) fun. You invaded our privacy!

To Mr custard for brains, I hope you are real proud of yourself. Man up and come back and pay up for the replacement.

R Mead, Welcome Bay.
