Lithuanian Mayor Crushes Illegal Parking

Thinks to @Melissa for sending this. Every year when the City of Spokane plows the streets of Browne's Addition and has to have cars towed to make room for the plows, I hear a lot of complaining. Well, to those people I say, be glad you don't live in Lithuania. A mayor there is taking a hardline on people who park illegally. And to get the word out that he won't tolerate 'disrespectful behaviour by drivers who disobey parking rules' (his spokesperson's wording), he set up a little stunt involving an illegally parked Mercedes and an armoured personnel carrier. Wow, I wish I could get my hands on a personnel carrier for just one day.
