yeah nah fair point, but still jumping to conclusions aye

Blake Turner2026-06-30T03:38:23.000Z

why are they always in vans? get a new vehicle mate, you're not subtle anymore

Hayden Kelly2026-06-30T04:31:23.000Z

better safe than sorry mate, not worth the risk

Drew Parker2026-06-30T03:51:23.000Z

school zones need more patrols, this is getting ridiculous

Drew Parker2026-06-30T04:15:23.000Z

agree, cops need to do more than just 'investigate'

Noah Bennett2026-06-30T04:12:23.000Z

lost tradie my arse, who asks a kid for directions when you got google maps?

Jamie Fox2026-06-30T04:27:23.000Z

thank goodness the child knew better! scares me how fast things can go wrong

Jamie Fox2026-06-30T04:52:23.000Z

hope they check the school cctv, might have caught something

River Cole2026-06-30T04:43:23.000Z

Sophie Ngata2026-06-30T04:56:23.000Z

so scary, I'm picking my kids up from now on instead of letting them walk

Peyton Hall2026-06-30T05:21:23.000Z

wonder if it's the same guy from last month's warning email?
