This week:

Warden vs warden

It really is Christmas.

Just to prove no one is un-ticketable, a traffic warden in Doncaster has fined a fellow traffic warden.

Warden (and ex-policeman) Keith Bee fined a co-worker who had parked her enforcement vehicle in a loading bay to unload 'essential security equipment'.

Passer-by Matthew Davis said: "When she didn’t come back, he reluctantly printed out a ticket and put it on the van. He wasn't very pleased but he didn’t have a choice."

Devon knows how they make it so expensive

You can get a lot for £179,000. A house, an Aston Martin Vanquish,179,000 things from a pound shop...

...or a garage in Devon.

Measuring 12 metres by 4, one lock-up in Dartmouth has sold for the eye-boggling amount.

Tied to a 78-year contract stating it must only be used for parking, the garage is big enough to house three cars and a small store room.

Note to self - build a garage in Dartmouth.

Taxi for Mr Robber

If you're choosing a getaway car for a bank robbery (not that we're condoning it), chose something with good acceleration, good cornering, and a bullet-proof rear-windscreen.

Don't choose a taxi.

US bank robber Don Hendricks took a cab from his home in Delray Beach, Florida to a branch of the Bank of America, where he stole almost £1,500. And then got back in the waiting taxi.

Unsurprisingly Mr Hendricks was caught, and now faces grand theft charges.
