These skills will serve him surpringly well in the business community.

Wow, I'm surprised that didn't end up with little Harry being arrested and charged with crimes for bringing a mouse trap to school and for using it on his fellow classmates.

Cool story. Glad to see a couple of things:

1. He wants to become an engineer. Good on you, mate.
2. His school voted him in as school president (or something similar). Good choice, I suppose.
3. He didn't get knocked for his actions. This is an appropriate use of force.

Go figure. What the douchebag vice-principal really wanted to say was that he feels like a douchebag because he was shown up by a kid when it came to discipline and investigation.

Strong work.

What kind of half wit leaves their money in an unattended bag?

Do these kids not own pockets, or would using them interfere with their panty lines?

Nah, to even reach their pockets they'd have to pull their damn pants up.

Lawn. Off. Now.

In other news, Fark actually becomes funny when you've been drinking a lot.

The kid would have been arrested and put in Guantanamo bay if this was in the United States.

Brilliant

Why no Hero tag?

Imagine if this was in the other 99% of the schools around the world, this kid would be in jail

Wrong country.

blowing $15 on lollies at the canteen.

Can we get an English-to-English translator in here please?

lollies = lollipops = suckers!

ftfy, racist

lollies = crack cocaine. Duh.

My solution for food thieving room-mates and coworkers: The medication I take daily calms me down and removes anxiety. However, If a normal person were to take it, they would feel like shiat for a full 24 hours: Lethargic, unable to think or process anything, feel dead-tired, but unable to sleep.

It tastes like nothing and I have a liquid version of it, pure farking evil stuff.

"[The offenders] probably just didn't realise how much trouble they'd really caused. This is the northern beaches, for God's sake. Nobody is that poor.



WTF??

And canteen = whorehouse.

I would like to slap this biatch.

That is all.

Yeah I remember the days of going to the school canteen and asking "what can I get for 20 cents" and being told that I can get an asian hooker.

Sadly in America he would have been arrested or at the very least had his future record ruined somehow.

In Australia, 'candy' is known as lollies.

This is the northern beaches, for God's sake. Nobody is that poor."

And what a statement that is - that area is like a world unto itself that only the elite can afford. They barely leave it and know nothing about the world outside.

If this was done in the South West, these guys would have been lynched

Kudos to the kid though. Smart thinking.

Lavishly spending fifteen dollars on lollipops cocaine at the supermarket.

Thank you, testbenchdude, my Limey isn't quite up to par.

The parents of the snowflake would have sued for the traumatic experience of getting his hand slightly bruised & demand that all of the negative marks on his record from the thefts be wiped clean. They'd then demand that the kid get expelled.

I'm just going to enjoy the warm fuzzy feeling of a kid getting back at someone who stole his stuff.

I lol'ed.

I concur with that statement. I was quite surprised that he wasn't.. until I re-read for the location.

And the name of this medication is? I think we Farkers have a right to know.

Perhaps you are due for another dose.

the kid is obviously a terrorist. he brought a weapon of mouse destruction to school. A WMD!

No comments on the 'funny money' yet?

Disappointed.

sounds like the dolls at the canteen were in on it and washing the loot. a couple of kids were spending big dollars and getting serious candy at the same time the other kids were broke, and nothing was said? hmm

Good for him! Smart kid, will go far in life. Kind of refreshing reading about a school kid not farking his teacher.

Sadly, if he lived in the US, he'd be in prison.

I thought 'lollies' was a new name for meth.

Go away, 'baitin...

Or at least punji sticks. Mouse traps hurt and all, but green food coloring? With a proper booby trap you should be able to follow the trail of blood.

Now that they know who's been stealing from the students, the punishment should public flogging

the_chief: The kid would have been arrested and put in Guantanamo bay if this was in the United States.

it wouldn't have been dragged out for weeks in the US. There are more cameras in schools these days than most banks have. On top of that, it only seems reasonable to, I don't know, LOCK the door to the room that the kids aren't supposed to be in during recess anyway?

to snare a pair of schoolyard crims who were knocking off lunch money to fund their lolly habit.

They were spending their money on child prostitutes?

Man, Australia is one farked up country.

Dangerous as hell... and I salute you.

I was once a very evil person who spiked my own cough medicine with butorphanol because I thought my roomy at the time was secretly stealing my meds. I was correct. The result was amusing.

KNW: Now that they know who's been stealing from the students, the punishment should public flogging

I thought in Australia you get kicked with a giant boot.

I had a stickyfingered roomie. I went to her college shrink and to student affairs and complained she was ripping me off . . . a week later, she's rifling my purse while I was, umm, "reminiscing" in my loft.

I jump down, in deshabille, and catch her.
she compounded her error by pulling out a clump of my hair.
bad move. never touch the hair. there were words, a struggle, she bit me. then I laid into her for reals. then toss! bounce! out the front door. I make a call to campus security.

She spent the night "in hospital" as they say.

There was nice clear record of my complaints to student affairs.
Also fortunately for me, she used bigoted language when attacking me.
I got a lawyer to write a nice stern letter.
her daddy settled out of court. I got a new laptop!

Cyno01 already got there, but I was also thinking "punji* stick traps" right away. Eyeesh. Maybe there was a shortage of the right bamboo. In Australia.
If he'd done the spikes instead, Harry would have ended up working as a mercenary, maybe, after some correctional... oh, never mind, he's on a bloody island that started out as a prison. Bugger!

*also spelled 'Pungee'

Don't get caught! It's fun to spend your ill-gotten plunder, but woe to the thief who gets caught Down Under.

Mouse Trap!!
