The twist is though that it turns out his son is driving the car and it is stolen. Wild west stuff - Westport remains one of the great New Zealand destinations, love the place. PS - Ah damn it happened in Christchurch but the guy is from Karamea. Do we know anyone from Karamea??	Twelvevolts (5457)

I never experienced this sort of behaviour. Must have been an outsider to behave like this. Look at the name of the crook. To be classified as a local or Coaster you need a minimum lineage back to your great grand parents being born on the coast on both sides of the family. Anyone else is an import or a coaster wannabe like this filthy scum crook and always will be. Occasionally one of the locals will get pissed and do something stupid, run amok so to speak. Or even go mad without being pissed occasionally. New cops posted to the area in the old days were taught not to mess around with the bar hours. Otherwise the verandas of their houses were blown off as a warning, as you do.	prefect (6291)

Went for a trip down the coast MANY years ago with a coaster friend ... stopped into the pub on a Sunday afternoon for a beer, way before Sunday trading was legal, and asked him - "don't you ever have problems with the police?" ... his reply ... No ... That big guy standing at the end of the bar is the local Sergeant ... :eek: and here I was only 17 when the minimum age was 21 I think ...	SP8's (9836)

You could see cars coming over the overhead bridge from the pub window. One of the patrons observed a Police car from Westport coming over the bridge and yelled out, "Cops". There was an immediate scurry out the back and those who knew the drill disappeared. I was caught behind an old guy with a walking stick who had trouble running. I could not get past him and ended up going into the kitchen where there was a huge pile of dishes and soapy water in the sink. I proceeded to wash the dishes pretending to be the dish washer and not a villainous after hours drinker. My ruse did not work and I was lined up along with six other older guys who were caught inside. The Police Sergeant looked at each of us in turn. I remember thinking that I would be ok and he would tell the older men off for leading a young fellow like me astray. The Sergeant looked at me and said, "I can understand why these men are still here but you should have been running and hiding in the bushes like the others". We were all told to go home.	Bobh (5192)
