The Thousands

FiveThousand implores you to ignore the temptation of the following highly illegal summertime activities.

Breaking into one of several private school swimming pools
This is especially not fun at the tail end of a heat wave, when the water is as warm and clear as a tropical lagoon. Although fences are easy to scale and security is at a minimum, the sensible thing to do is forget the whole idea and catch a cab home. Especially forget to bring bicycles, your best underwear and one or two sneaky university cigarettes.

Sneaking into the Botanic Gardens late at night
Crazy. Don’t even think about it. This is especially unromantic after last drinks at the pub, when all you have is a couple of bicycles and a bag of goon.

Hanging out on the roof of tall buildings
Do not scope out buildings in the CBD for accessible fire escapes. If you find that gates to fire escapes are locked from the outside, don’t even think about unlocking them during business hours so that you can come back later with a bottle of wine and a portable projector.
