    I understand the sentiment about trusting and not thinking the worst. When we lived out of town we didn't have a lockable door on the house and the ignition keys were always left in the car.

    We now live in a small town (1000 pop.) and still don't pay much attention to locking anything much, but the main problem is the police. The Dalby constabulary send their newest recruits to patrol our area. They are instructed to book good abiding citizens for trivial infringements.

    Leaving your vehicle unlocked or having a window down more than the permissible 50mm while unattended are two of their favourites. It doesn't win them many friends.

    The latest hobby horse is having an unsecured load in the back of a ute. This is the one most of us are likely to infringe. No longer are you legally allowed to throw obects into the tray. They have to be tied down or covered by a suitable canopy, tonneau or other approved device.

    The most rediculous one to come to my atttention so far is of a tool box that wasn't secured. The driver pointed out it was bolted to the tray, but the idiot of the law maintained it wasn't strapped down. I heard the driver was still issued a ticket, but presume it was later thrown out for abject stupidity.

    Trust! In what?

    Sorry. I forgot to mention we've had three Rotties, but the last one's been dead a while.
