Adamstown and Burned Out Cars

mk6705

Has anyone else noticed that 90% of the time if you pass Adamstown on a train, there is a car on fire in a field? And a few already burned out ones?

People must be very very bored.

There are a few places where cars regularly get dumped and burnt out. Usually stolen ones involved in a crime of some sort. The carpark at the gate up to the Tv mast on Kippure is another spot, anytime you go by there there are burnt out cars or evidence of ones recently removed.

There's no doubt that they're stolen anyway! The Adamstown thing appears to be me to be bored young people.

I bet it doesn't even compare to Broombridge station in the early 00s.

Let's see, scumbags steal and burn cars because they're "bored" ...

Gee ... if only they had a table tennis club

Sean I was just thinking the same thing.

The term "bored" is a tad naieve. The area in question has always been littered with burned out cars. But I guess the increased patronage on the rail line has provided ample opportunity to view them.

Its not boredom, its the minority culture of the area and that has being developing since 1980.
