LegalView's DumbJustice - Dumb Criminal

When Heidi Kohl, an 89 year old grandmother from Western Germany, became fed up with all the cars parked in her neighborhood, she extracted her revenge by slashing tires - 50 of them.

One of Kohl's neighbors spotted her mid-slash and reported her activities to the police and, subsequently, Granny Kohl was told she would face a fine. However, when Kohl told the authorities she couldn't afford to pay the fine, they came up with a rather unusual punishment - they ordered her to knit jumpers for her victims.

A spokeswoman confirmed: "When she's knitted the sweaters, then the matter will be over for us."

All that knitting will keep her off the streets as well.
