Keep in mind that the owner might have been hounded out of their home by false accusations and vandalism or worse.Skiddaw1 said:Brilliant!!Reminds me of when someone scrached the legend 'SLAPPER' on the paintwork of a car around the corner from where we used to live. I'd have loved to have heard the backstory.
It's also possible that someone living there is a criminal and now locked up, and their family is being forced to leave because of their actions.
It's probably not a very funny story.10 -
True. That comment did remind me of the Doctor who had "peedo" spray-painted on their house, by a bunch of yobs who were too thick to realise that 'paedophile' and 'paediatrician' weren't the same thing.[Deleted User] said:

Or the case of Bijan Ebrahimi that saw the poor guy beaten to death and then set on fire.Silvertabby said:

You'd think, but the human psyche is a complex thing. I know of someone who goes to the station each day to put suitcases and an old truck on the platform, just to increase the authenticity of passengers' experience on the steam train that runs on the line. In the late afternoon, following the last steam of the day, he returns and puts them in again.ProDave said:
