Never actually been cautioned or arrested...
...but I've had a few run-ins.

I remember once when I was about 8, me and a group of mates were hurling bricks at the windows of a building we thought was disused. We heard shouting coming from inside, and we pegged it across to the football field over the road.

A few seconds later, the police turn up (station is just down the road, which makes the whole escapade that much more exciting/stupid) and start grilling us.

In the end, I come up with the winning story that we just saw a group of lads cycle off down the lane on blue bikes.

Off they sped, leaving us be :D


I once went golf-ball nicking with a mate (who unbeknown to me, already had a record) and we managed to accrue about 1,500 balls within a couple of nights from the driving range (carefully snuck in to the back of the range, took bolt-cutters to the fence, and sneaked in)

A few days later, we decided to dump all the balls on the car-park of the driving range at 05:30 in the morning, so the (twat of an) owner would skid and barely miss them when he pulled in that morning ;)

Except my mate had been handling the balls, and had his grubby fingerprints all over most of them. Fortunately he didn't squeal (as I believe the term is) so I got away scot-free. He spent a couple of nights in the cells, and had to pay damages to the owner, as not only did he lose 1500 balls for two days, but he had to pay someone to pick all the balls up off the car park, and he had to get someone to repair his wing mirrors after he smashed into a wall trying to avoid them all :D
