Pole Position

He Was At His Witz' End

A Polish man who pasted a notice on a bus stop asking vandals to stop vandalising it was arrested - for vandalism. Janusz Nowak, 61, was arrested as he pasted the message on a pavement in the southern Sosnowiec. His notice read: "Dear vandals, please stop destroying the bus stop." A police spokesman said: "Although the man wanted to express his indignation towards hooligans' behaviour he unfortunately broke the law himself."

FOOTNOTE: He wanted a rest, not arrest.

Maybe if he had written the sign in Polish the police would have ben more understanding.

Just like your littering story, too bad, good intentions sometimes turn into punishment, Anna :)

Ha! I believe it! Once when my bike was stolen, for the 3rd time by the same teenage boys, I called the cops who said that since I didn't have a serial number it would be my world vs. theirs & that they could do nothing. I said 'Fine! I'll just go get it then' and was promptly advised that if I went up their porch & took my bike back I could be arrested for trespassing! Lol...sad, but true!
