Yep thats the filth for you. Target tme comes & its easier to pick on a bunch of chilled out younger folk(by the sounds of it) than actually go bust the coiuncillor with 100K of scrapbar in his house or tackle rowdy drunken youfs because the might get hurt.

Good to hear karma kept you & your grinder safe, if its that important to you though you might want to learn from the experience & maybe grind yourself a baggie up before going out.
