Outside Bristol Zoo is the car park, with spaces for 150 cars and 8 coaches. It has been manned 6 days a week for 23 years by the same charming and very polite car park attendant with the ticket machine. The charges are £1. per car and £5. per coach.
On Monday 1 June, he did not turn up for work. Bristol Zoo management phoned Bristol City Council to ask them to send a replacement parking attendant.
The Council said "That car park is your responsibility." The Zoo said "The attendant was employed by the City Council... wasn't he?" The Council said "What attendant?"
Gone missing from his home is a man who has been taking daily the car park fees amounting to about £400. per day for the last 23 years...!
That's £125k per year...not taxed. Genius!

Now that's a clever criminal for you. I have to say, even if this guy did rob the city of Bristol blind, people like him make me feel pretty happy just knowing that at least there's still someone intelligent enough out there to throw the system for a loop.
Keep up the great work, Cobden. Always great to gain a little perspective from the other side of the pond.
