A man from Tessenderlo (that's a city in Belgium) appeared yesterday before the court because he has collected around his house refrigerators, freezers, cables, refrigerator boxes, washing machines, etc. in large numbers in the garden.
The municipality of Tessenderlo urged the man several times to clean up the mess. "It is mine. Who does that bother? " is his answer. "Collecting is a fun activity for me since my retirement. So I have the day to do something and I do not have to go sit at the cafe.
The municipality of Tessenderlo sees things differently. It fears for fire safety, germs and nuisances, including rats.
The prosecutor was talking about deviant behavior and a collective rage where other people suffer (perhaps something was lost in translation here?) .
The Looienaar (that's what people who live in Tessenderlo are called) got the last word and promised to take everything away. Tuesday afternoon the man seemed already to take action. The judgment follows on 7 January.
I think the Hallsville prosecutor would have his work cut out for him.
Remember this jewel? What would the Looienaarens think of this?
