Just yell out cops are on the way and he’ll bolt and probably stop doing this for the rest of the day.
Why wouldn’t they send anyone out?
Why wouldn’t they come out? Wtf?
future psycho in the making!

Get the hose on him
Perhaps ask if the firies would like to check out his activity instead? They could in turn call the cops to actually turn up.
He’s not doing a very good job is he..
Send it to the media and watch the police come up with an excuse as to why you misunderstood them.
Did he put a lighter up to a tree?
Looking at that I think the community will be pretty safe
If cops say they won’t come, it’s free for all.
Just walk over and take the lighter off him he’s like 12 years old
If he’s trying to light trunks on fire with a lighter I doubt he’ll get far lol
When you arn’t aloud on social media
There is a joke about a guy reporting a trespasser. Cops can’t be there for an hour. The guy rang back k 5 minutes later saying he “removed” the trespasser. Cops were there in 5 minutes.
If it was 42 degrees with a howling northerly I recon they might.
He probably needs help mentally. It would be better to help him now rather than later if what he’s doing become worse.
Part of it is seeking attention, I think.
I’d have called the local CFA or MFB branch. Although it’s property damage (so police jurisdiction), being fire related may get a more urgent response from firies
Say you’ll deal with it and watch them rock up

I remember a guy in high school trying to prove how badass on a Monday morning by saying he had smoked a plain A4 piece of paper on the weekend.
I haven’t seen him in years – maybe you’ve found him.
Op what suburb is this?
What in the actual fuck is wrong with our kids?
Curious as to why VicPol said they wouldn’t send anyone out. Irrespective of this guy’s immediate issue, should he succeed in setting something on fire (thank goodness for the recent rain!) then the problem goes from slightly antisocial to significant risk of harm to the public and to property.
The escalation potential is massive… I’ve definitely had police attend much less significant issues before so it seems weird they wouldn’t send someone in this case.
We’re in Australia… Arson is taken very seriously here, especially in summer when it can easily become massive bushfires. We have specific laws about starting fires (it varies on the type of fire starting) and they are strict, some of the strictest in the country.
Fucking hell I really wish Victoria would sort this drug issue out. It’s beyond out of control.
“Ah okay don’t worry, some guy is approaching him with a machete, I think he’ll sort it”
