Man rings police after neighbour posts "creepy" picture of Cliff Richard in his window
A MAN phoned police after his neighbour posted a giant photo of a grinning Sir Cliff Richard in the window overlooking his dining room.
James Maltby said the image of the beaming pop star was “creepy” but police told him they could not do anything about the picture – because it was not a zombie.
Mr Maltby believes his neighbour posted the image on the property in Sutherland Road to get back at him after he reported him to the council over allegations he was breaching planning rules – which his neighbour denies.
Mr Maltby said: “I woke up and he has stuck a picture in his window of a face of Cliff Richard looking down at us.
“I called the police and they said there was nothing they can do about it.
“They said if it was a picture of a zombie they could do something about it, but because it is a picture of a face they cannot.
“It is a creepy image. I think he is trying to send us a message saying he knows it is us.”
The neighbour, James Dean, said he was “surprised to find myself amidst a most bizarre misunderstanding” and the image was posted by a “comrade” as a “comical greeting”.
Mr Dean works in the building and denied breaking planning rules by also living there.
He said he often worked “long hours and nocturnal shifts” in the building for the design studio of which he is creative director, Clockwise 360 Ltd.
He added that since hearing of Mr Maltby’s objection he had taken the photo down, and “would like to apologise for any offence caused.”
A Sussex Police spokesman said: “Police received a report on Sunday last week that a man had put up a picture of Cliff Richard in a window facing the informant’s garden in Sutherland Road in Brighton.
“Officers spoke to the informant but informed him that displaying the picture was not an offence.
“The informant was encouraged to speak to the owner of the building to resolve the issue.”
A spokesman for Brighton and Hove City Council said: “Our planning enforcement team has been contacted [about the building] and they are investigating whether a change of use has taken place.”

The hero Akron needs:
Akron police searching for “mystery pooper” caught in the act
POSTED 5:39 PM, MARCH 11, 2015, BY KAILY CUNNINGHAM AND KEVIN FREEMAN, UPDATED AT 09:51PM, MARCH 11, 2015
Warning: The details of this story are disturbing
AKRON – Police are currently searching for a man who was caught defecating on a car belonging to a woman in Akron. A photo of the act was taken by the father of the victim.
serial pooper
According to Akron Police Lieutenant Rick Edwards, the man is in his mid-40’s and incidents like this have been reported since May 2012.
19 reports have been filed in total and the cars have been damaged on the outside, the door handles and the interior, if they were left unlocked.
All of the incidents took place in the Castle Homes neighborhood in Akron.
Some victims reported the incidents thinking it was from a dog.
Lt. Edwards says investigators could perform DNA testing to try to identify the man, but he says for minor crimes, like this, that would be a last resort.
If arrested, the suspect could face charges, such as criminal mischief.
Anyone with information about this man should contact Akron police.
Below is a map where all of the incidents have occurred.

It comes just two years after Clarkson's colleague James May filmed a sequence with a double-decker bus in Cheddar Gorge.
Clarkson is not believed to have been there for the filming.
Moral of the story, never let anyone you know go to Cheddar Gorge.

Just need to put this out there. Translation:
Pigs Parade
Six boars caused commotion when they appeared in central Kristianstad, and the police were forced to interfer. Something like this hasn't happened in the town since National Socialistic Front once demonstrated there.
Explanation: In Sweden, National Socialistic Front is widely regarded as a Nazi party. A common nickname for Nazis is 'nasse', from the swedish 'Nazist'. Nasse is also a nickname for 'pig', 'boar', and so on. Get it? Boar? Pig? Nazi? yeah, it's not fun in english...
