A HOON accused of a bridal burnout has used the cover of dark to remove his hotted-up Holdens from his home in a bid to prevent police seizing it. The move appeared to be a bid to prevent police seizing it.
But it was a wasted effort with police admitting they could no longer impound the cars under the state’s hoon laws because they had waited too long.
“He moved the cars out at 11 o’clock last night,” neighbour Gina said.
“He had a tray truck come down and he put the red one on it and then he came back and got the white one after that.
“He’s not been home (since) … he’s done a runner.”
Gina said if police had acted when they were first given the video, "it wouldn’t have got to this and these cars would have been impounded.”
Earlier, police admit their inaction meant they are unable to strip him of his cars.
Police have 10 days from the date of an offence to seize cars under the state's hoon laws.
Eighteen days after they were first given footage of a local hoon, and 18 months after Taylors Hill residents first complained about the hoon, police are yet to speak with him or anyone else at the house.
Meanwhile, the family who gave footage of the hoon to the Herald Sun in a bid to force police to act were subjected to a frightening attack just hours after the Herald Sun was confronted by the suspected hoon on Tuesday.
A 6kg box of explosive fireworks was ignited outside their home at 11.11pm on Tuesday.
Once again the family said they had difficulty getting police to attend.
"We are all shaking," 'Gina' said.
"(It) took two phone calls to the police to get them down here and when they arrived we copped the comment, 'Oh. we thought it was just kids letting off crackers'.
"Seriously ... does that box look like crackers to you?" Gina added that it was the second box of fireworks to have been set off against their fence.
Other neighbours said hoons were active almost every day and night, with two parked cars written off in the street because of high-speed crashes.
"It's scary ... there's lots of families in the area who have little kids," Joanne Gurman said.
"Somebody will eventually get killed. I'm waiting for a car to come through my bedroom window."
Residents said their pleas for speed humps in the street to stop cars speeding at up to 100km/h had been ignored.
Caroline Springs Supt Graham Kent said police had not interviewed the driver about his behaviour.
Although it was too late to seize the cars under hoon laws, Supt Kent said the video could still be used as evidence to build a case against the man.

What seems as lack of police action, is actually the support of the criminal act.
The police are fully aware that by delaying any action, the criminals cannot be bought before the courts.
By so called inaction the police are letting the criminal free, only to terrorise more victims.
It has also been alleged that the perpetrators are harassing the victims, another non-action on the behalf of the police, to charge the persons involved.
There are many more similar examples that are not bought up by the mass media, in order not to raise the inefficiencies of the government's police force in what would be an exposé of the government not protecting its citizens.
This could be seen as an action which may cause civil unrest, which cannot be initiated under any circumstances by the government sponsored corporate media.
