Boulie Tacker

The Boulie Tacker is the nickname given to the unknown person or persons who, since 2014, has laid furniture tacks on Yarra Boulevard - a road and popular cycling path in Melbourne, Australia. The tacks puncture bicycle tyres with over 1,000 punctured tyres reported between 2015 and 2020, damaging bicycles in some cases causing serious injury to cyclists. Road maintenance teams have been required to use special magnetic mats to sweep the road to remove the tacks. The sweepers believe the culprit watches the clean-up stating "A lot of times I finish at 2-2.30pm, he watches me and by 5pm we've got more tacks."
