If all else fails, my advice is to follow the leader of the council home and crap through his letterbox, it being the only language these curs understand.

Guilty secret: Our summer holiday in sunny Frinton-on-Sea would not be complete unless we could break into an unlocked beach hut and enjoy the facilities.
We're still on the run following this outrage.

Dorset Echo: Arms-crossed in fury as thieves steal handbag from front seat of car
If you're looking for someone to blame, point the finger at those curs at Autoglass. They have clearly sold you a bin liner instead of a window.

Red-hot pointing action from one of our favourite local titles. Excellent job, there.

This turd steals handbags, stabs women and is in dire need of a good slap. Contact the Old Bill if - by some miracle - you know who he is.
Don't have nightmares.

Help the local fuzz in the West Country nail this scrote who has been taking things that don't belong to him. Talk him into turning himself in, getting a decent haircut so he doesn't look like my dog.
Don't have nightmares.
Northern Echo: Householders sad, a bit angry after break-in
We don't really like doing shots of victims of crime as it appears we might be mocking them. Which we are not. However, this story cannot pass without noting the superbly-posed shot.
If anyone knows who did this crime, the usual advice applies: Rip their heads off and pour HP Sauce down their necks. That is all.

Look at it from the Council's side. They told everybody that the grit was for road use only. But they HAD to kick the arse out of it and use it for their budgies. They've only got themselves to blame.
