Oracle of DelphiGranny Arrested

A grandma from Derbyshire, England was recently arrested after her neighbours called the cops on her. And for what?
No, she wasn’t doing pot, or beating up kids with a wooden spoon. She wasn’t even stabbing people with her knitting needles or poisoning people with her homemade pies. In fact, the poor woman did nothing.
Angela Hickling was arrested because she allegedly refused to return a ball kicked into her garden by her neighbours. She argued that there was no ball in her garden but her neighbours insisted that Mrs Hickling had taken it.
After the humiliation of being handcuffed in front of the entire street and being taken away for questioning, police searched Mrs Hickling’s home, only to find there indeed was no stolen ball on the premises.
And you know what I think? I think her next-door neighbour needs to get a life. Maybe you kicked it into someone else’s garden by accident. Maybe you still have the ball at your house, you just haven’t looked properly. Or maybe the ball rolled down the street and into a river far, far away.
Whatever the reason, did it really require the involvement of law enforcement officers?

It also seems like the police have very little to do in that town if it was taken seriously in the first place. For shame!

^ I agree with Chantal. Why did the police take those people seriously in the first place? They could have talked politely with the lady like, y'know, normal people. What's with the handcuffing? That must be one sleepy town if the local law enforcement officers are itching to use their cuffs, even on a grandma.

You'll see some unusual images and some serious to hilarious comments.
Do you like Computer Art and what can it do to encourage computer literacy for the oldies and
getting the generations together?
And what does it do for you? Just have a look and let your mind take over.
Whatever it suggests to you, there's no right or wrong answer.
