Spot on, I've never been arrested/cautioned/charged with any offence and as you say have too much to lose. Rooney once threw a brick through someone's window with a note attached to it. The note read "this time it's a brick, hassle me again and it'll be a petrol bomb". Oddly enough he had no further hassle! The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
I've only been arrested once, and that was for sticking up for friend who almost (accidentally I might add), nearly through a sand bag through the window of Lloyds Bank down Jameson St. The handcuffs were very tight! Was a fun night though!! Fine and slappy wrists time.
It was around the time we had the Olympics, we were trying to replicate the shot put with a bag of sand. Someone had had too much Weetabix (and booze), and the bag went completely the wrong way towards the bank. We were obviously been watched on CCTV, and the police cell van arrived, and took us on a little journey to Queens Gardens, were we were told that sand bag throwing was not, in fact, an Olympic sport. To be fair to the police they were jovial, realised we were not "normal crims", and we were on our way back to the pub in a couple of hours, fines in pocket of course. Cher-ching.
I know someone who tried to knee himself on the forehead and put a plate glass window through in a pub down Princess Av.
The irony was that the week after he paid for the repair it was put through again by a slightly drunk driver.
