'Leaf' the parking to the neighbors

Angry residents of one Polish village tormented by a local speed demon have pushed the phrase "the punishment must fit the crime" to its limits -- by hoisting his beloved car into a huge willow tree. Even though Zbigniew Filo didn't have a driver's license, his fast and furious racing had been infuriating neighbors for months. The 24-year-old had clearly spent ages souping up his Ford Escort too, so was understandably horrified to find it nesting in this rather unorthodox position -- and even more annoyed when unsympathetic (and probably amused) police ordered him to remove it from the tree himself. The suitably chastised driver said, "I got the message, but I think it was a bit harsh."
