a good egg

our neighbourhood watch newsletter slid through our letterbox this week. three crimes were reported for our area - a mugging, a burglary and criminal damage. the last caught my attention, despite the typos/funny application of grammar and syntax in the first two reports. i'm trying to figure out whether carelessly kicking a football on our street can make one a 'suspect' for criminal damage. or is it, once you've been told off by a car owner, the throwing of an egg in anger? i have to say my sympathies lie with the bored kids who were out of school for Christmas and were killing time in the street. i can't really see how much damage a carelessly kicked football can do to a car. good thinking with the egg though. poor kid had the police called on [him] to give him a proper telling off.
