As a young fella I had the opportunity to clean some pesky bunnies off a local small golf course as they kept making extra holes in the greens...
After the night's shoot (not that successful I might add) went home and packed up the air rifle and rimfire and after we sat down for a cup of hot milo the local blue knocked on the door. Seems some idiot went and did a drive by in the local campground and ended up striking a caravan (unsure if intent or by design). We got questioned very closely, and after explaining the parts of the course we shot using the course map the rest of the story came out with the shot up caravan. Cop was happy, as our shots would have needed to turn 100deg, travel up, through a pine plantation, drop back down and then level out and turn another 90deg corner to go through the window of the caravan. Cop then proceeded to say that he was 99.9% sure it wasn't us "but a bit of a fright would be character building" - this is the same cop that kept his steelcaps shiny as he reckoned it made for a less painful trip up your bum.
I can tell you from that though, it is bloody stressful when these things happen to you and you've done everything right that you thought of to ensure everything is safe...
