At exactly 2:34 am just now, I was woken from my ever-light state of sleep to hear three or four local “youths” walking down the street smashing glass bottles on the road and tipping the contents of recycling bins all over the place. Armed with my digital camera, I tried to get a shot of them as they passed less than a meter from my lower-floor window.

Unfortunately, given the light conditions and the fact that I disabled the flash, none of the shots caught anything other than a very black haze! Having such a high social conscience (lol), I got onto the police who, incredibly, considering how low-priority the situation was, were there in about 5 minutes.

Unfortunately, all they could do by then was help clear up the mess. I’m blogging this now mainly so I can remember it in the morning as well as that fact that I can’t get back to sleep!
