    Also when they catch you they will confiscate your car and any artefacts fine you etc. when released you have to make your own way home.......on foot. Many years ago tried to warn a guy as he was dragging a vickers on its stand back to his car in full view of the local police as soon as he managed to get it into his van they pounced. Ashley
