Green lane nail traps.... now happing on the road...

Just keep a look at lads and ladies when go going down greenlanes as people have been putting traps in them looking like the picture bellow! also apparently some man had his boot door shot at by a pellet gun whilst down one even though he was aloud to be down it!

Sad thing is we can't really report it either. Councils would rather TRO a lane than do anything about it.

Just need to keep your eyes out for them. If I saw any I'd be tempted to move them out of where tyres would go and put them between the tracks.
There's three ways of doing things:

The right way,
The wrong way
And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.

Best thing Ed, take em' home and bin them. As said many lanes run through fields and walkways.

Atleast if we remove remove them no walkers or animals have any chance of being hurt by them.
