Police Order Woman To Knit Her Punishment
POLICE LOG: Crime in the news…
Jumpers For Tyres:
An 89-year-old grandmother who went on a tyre-wrecking spree in her street has been ordered to knit jumpers for her victims.
Heidi Kohl, from western Germany, was arrested after one neighbour spotted her slashing the tyres on a car. She later confessed that she had resorted to drastic measures after becoming “fed up” with so many drivers parking in her neighbourhood.
Kohl was initially told that she would be fined for her behaviour, but authorities came up with the more unusual punishment after the woman claimed she would be unable to pay.
A spokeswoman confirmed: “When she’s knitted the sweaters, then the matter will be over for us.”
Something in stripes should do it…

Saul,
You’re doing it again.
Clear breach of the Geneva Convention, bound to attract unwanted attention, and I’m still trying to fence that sand…

Young offenders should be forced to parade in front of their mates wearing Jumpers knitted by their Nana’s, that would teach ‘em.

I think that’s a bit unwise; you can do a lot of damage with a pair of knitting needles…
