Weird pic of the week: Jet loo Paul Stender – the creator of this £5,000, 70mph toilet (right) - said: "It's fair to say it doesn't handle that well."
Wheels on fire
Good - his team are through to the Champion's League Final
Thieves took the opportunity of Reina having his hands full to ransack his house, taking a state of the art Bang and Olufsen sound system, personal documents – and the keys to his Porsche Cayenne Turbo. The vehicle was found burned out in the West Derby area of the city.
First the story of four young men who took their revenge on a mobile speed camera van in the Australian capital Canberra. Three of the group approached the traffic officers inside, quizzing them on how the camera technology worked, and how many speeders they would expect to catch in a day. Meanwhile, their companion was busy unscrewing the number plate from the front of the van and fixing it to their car. The group bid farewell to the camera operators, got back in their vehicle, and proceeded to drive past the van at high speed. 17 times. Causing the automated billing system to issue itself 17 tickets.
BMX bandits
If you can’t beat them, borrow someone's BMX.
Burly PC Geoff McCreery was in hot pursuit of a gang of youths, but was losing ground.
Then he spotted his chance.
Identifying himself to a 13-year-old boy, the resourceful officer commandeered the boy's bike and rejoined the chase - catching up with one ruffian.
PC McCreery said: "It was a boiling hot day and they were more athletic than us. I'm not quite the preferred size for a BMX." Video: Me so horny Driving around harassing pedestrians and videoing the results is neither big nor clever. But driving around with a freight train horn on the top of your car is an interesting twist on the genre. I want to make it absolutely clear we do not condone the behaviour displayed in this clip. But you've got to admit, some of the reactions are hilarious. WARNING: CONTAINS SWEARING
