Wrong Target

From The Times:

A £5,000 reward has been offered to catch militant motorists thought to be behind about 200 attacks on parking meters in Lewes, East Sussex.

More than £300,000 damage has been caused to ticket machines, mainly by small bombs stuffed into coin slots. The attacks started soon after the machines were installed in 2004 and more than a third of the town’s 90 machines have been vandalised.

Police offered a £3,000 reward but the bombers replied by blowing up another machine*. The local council has now added £2,000 to the reward kitty.

Apart from this making me laugh out loud*, I just think this is such a waste.






Why on earth can't they blow up GATSOs?
