When I pulled up at the car park alongside Boondall Wetlands Information
Centre yesterday afternoon, there was just one car already there. It was a
maroon Ford Falcon, a big old XD, with the bonnet up. Before we headed off
towards the hide, I asked the young man standing alongside it if things were
ok, or if he could use any help. He answered with a smile "No thanks mate,
just letting it cool down a bit". There was a young lady standing nearby.
They weren't birders.
It seems predictable now, but when we got back, maybe 30 minutes later, we
found the front passenger window on my car smashed, and the other car gone.
My passenger lost her handbag, passport, airline tickets, credit cards,
other valuables etc.
We all know these things happen, but it's a first for me, and for what it's
worth I just want to let other birders know where it occurred.
