On Wednesday 8th February 2012, Woking town centre came to a standstill as the police responded to a major incident...
They received a 999 call from a member of the public, alerting them to someone with a gun on the High Street. With this call, and also bearing in mind the number of armed robberies there's been in the area recently, the police responded in a big way, with armed units etc - how you'd expect them to react to such an incident.
Luckily it turned out to be some school children filming a zombie movie in a derelict building along the High Street - and the gun was a toy. They did have permission from the building owner, and had alerted the police to their plans.
Unfortunately, for some bizarre reason no one knows, they decided to turn up on completely the wrong day and at completely the wrong time to that of which they'd alerted the police to. So, when someone saw someone in the High Street with a realistic looking toy gun, and phoned the police, the police thought it was the real thing.
Naturally, this caused a lot of disruption, with roads all cordoned off, buses on diversion, people waiting at inaccessible bus stops and missing buses, people not being able to go where they wanted to go, and people within the cordoned off zone being locked in shop units. The school responsible have apologised for wasting police time, but not for wasting the public's time!!
Here we see the police road closure at the entrance to Church Street West, at the Victoria Way junction. 1 police car blocking the entrance to the road, 1 road sign saying "Police. Road Closed", several police officers standing in the way blocking the road.
To you or I, that would make it pretty obvious the road was closed. Not to Mr Taxi, who just headed straight for the gap on the wrong side of the road and tried to go flying through before he could be stopped. He got a well deserved bollocking from the police.
This time, I was tasked with creating some street art, without actually tagging anything. Coz, yaknow, thats kinda sorta illegal. But with the powers of photoshop, nothing is impossible!
This is where it started. There's a story here. Myself and some friends were wandering the streets of Toronto looking for adventure when we stumbled upon this ATM. Attached to a Pizza shop of all things. Normally, an ATM inside a store is no big deal. Its pretty common. But on the outside? Especially with no overhanging awning or anything? Skeeeeetchyyyyy.....
It just screams "Rob Me"!! So I decided, why not add one?

Armed robbery at two banks in Västerhaninge today. Three men armed with automatic firearms first blew the wault at Föreningssparbanken ( that's my bank btw), and then also robbed the Handelsbanken next door. Shots were fired. Heavy smoke came out from the first bank. Bank customers and employed unharmed but shocked. The area is surrounded by police, including the bomb squad, fire fighters, TV-crews, journalists and onlookers. Police have found a getaway car at Skogås, but the robbers are still at large.
Veggie robbery
"Gimmie all yer green, now!"
What a corny pun.
1 - something metallic (Look out! He's got a paring knife!)
2 - a root vegetable (A floating beet.)
3 - high key lighting (I haz it....)
Picked up my weekly vegetable load at my CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) this week, and this guy was so pretty, he was just begging to be to be held up at knife point. Don't ask what's actually going to happen to him after the shoot. :)
The old guy told us that there was a bank robbery in progress(what a cliche) and that we should catch the perps. We hung out on the roof of a nearby building to scope out the scene. Batman took the gargoyle and left me to hang from the rooftop. We saw a guy in a black and white tech suit with blue wavy things coming from his hands. "You know this guy?" I asked
"Uses the name shriek, attacks people with super sonic sound waves"
" Well, that sucks"

The great train robbery" Well today 08/23/2021 & 8/24/2021 the Atlantic Coast Line Locomotive No. 1504 was placed on flatbed semi's to leave the area its only really known as home Jacksonville Florida. Just one more piece of railroad history this town could really not care about. Sure its going to be restored for U.S. Sugar Corp.'s historic Sugar Express tourist train attraction. And one more piece of Railroad history in Jax/Fl will be lost forever. So I say Goodbye to the Atlantic Coast Line Locomotive No. 1504.

Shedahe ''Roman'' Abdel has worked in convenience stores the past seven years and has seen his fair share of robberies.
So he knew what to do when two men rushed into his Pembroke Pines Stop-N-Go on Monday night and ordered him to open the register.
With one man forcing two customers and two employees to the floor at gunpoint and the other suspect standing behind him, Abdel did what he was told. But the $300 or so in the register wasn't enough.
Open the safe, he was ordered by the gunman. With a revolver in his face, he was shoved, so Abdel pulled his .45 out of his waistband and shot one robber in the arm and the other in the leg.
When he pulled the trigger, five times by his count, Abdel became the second Broward County man in four days to shoot an armed robber in an act that police would call self-defense.
''As it stands right now, it sounds like a very good self-defense case,'' said Sgt. Bryan Davis, a Pembroke Pines police spokesman. Abdel has not been charged. Abdel, the manager of the convenience store at 7781 Johnson St., said he first shot the man holding the gun, whom police would later identify as 18-year-old Yacov Sims.
THE BLEEDING ARM
Then, as Sims ran out the door, bleeding from his arm, Abdel thought he saw Joshua Hammond reaching for his own gun, so he shot the 20-year-old in the leg.
Neither Hammond nor Sims got off a shot, Davis said.
When police arrived, they arrested Hammond and took him to Memorial Regional Hospital in Hollywood. An hour later, Sims arrived at the hospital via ambulance and was also arrested. Both Miami Gardens' men are each now charged with one count of armed robbery, Davis said.
On Tuesday, Abdel was back at work, selling lottery tickets and taking pizza orders.
'I told him, `Listen, take the money' '' Abdel said, recalling the robbery. ``He filled up his pockets -- but that wasn't enough. If he didn't have the gun, believe me, I would have given him the money.''
But Abdel, who came to South Florida from Venezuela in 2001, said he worried that the two men might kill him, so he pulled out his handgun and fired. The decision cost about $1,000 -- a broken window pane and register -- as well as his peace of mind. Abdel woke up last night, recalling Hammond's scream as he was shot.
''You see this guy screaming and it stays in your head,'' Abdel said.

There was a bank robbery at the Wells Fargo at 5900 Airport Blvd, Austin, TX, today. I was in the neighborhood and went to see what all the hubbub was about. I took a few photos and noticed that the crime scene photographer was across the street shooting back at me. Then an undercover car pulled up behind me. They got out, asked for my ID, asked a few other questions and told me to be on my way.
GB Railfreight Class 92s, 92040 "Goethe" and 92045 "Chaucer" stand bogie-less in the yard at the Brush Traction works, Loughborough on the 20th anniversary they went into store.
Since my last visit seven weeks previously racking containing various spare Class 92 parts had been placed in front of the locos.
With the recent announcement that the Brush Traction works are to close by the end of 2021, the futures of these locomotives look less certain than ever.
(On the left is Class 319, 319427 which is part of the bi-mode Class 769 "Flex" programme.)
The History of the Stored Class 92s at Brush:
021, 040, 045 and 046 are the remaining stored Class 92s in the GB Railfreight fleet – with all four having been stored for 20 years.
The Forgotten Four were part of the seven Class 92s originally owned by European Passenger Services (EPS) for use on the ill-fated Nightstar European sleeper service.
Up until April 2001, all of the EPS engines were used along with the rest of the Class 92 fleet as part of the common pool operated by EWS and based at Crewe ETD.
However, with the Nightstar project officially over, EPS offered their 92s for sale during 2000, but no buyers were found. Consequently, all seven were stored on 24 April 2001 - with 021, 040, 045 and 046 never having worked since.
021 and 040 were eventually purchased by Europorte (along with three other 92s) on 15 Feb 2007 from EPS for a total of £2m for the five locos (which cost £21m to build in 2007 prices).
021 and 040 remained stored and were moved by road from Crewe IEMD to Loughborough by Allelys in late July 2008. In Summer 2010, 021 and 040 moved to Cheriton where they remained for a while, before moving on to Coquelles/Frethun Eurotunnel Depot in Autumn 2011.
021 and 040 remained at Frethun Depot in store until being repatriated on 24/11/2018 and 08/12/2018 respectively for parts recovery and storage at Loughborough Brush.
The remaining two EPS 92s - 045 and 046 - were also purchased by Europorte in November 2007. They were both moved by road to Loughborough in late July 2008 and have remained at Brush ever since, donating parts to the rest of the Europorte/GBRf fleet.
In February 2014, all Europorte Class 92s – including the stored locomotives - were sold to its then subsidiary, GB Railfreight Limited. The Caledonian Sleeper contract meant the GBRf active fleet increased to 12 of their 16 engines. However, the remaining four stored locos – ironically all originally intended for sleeper operations – are unlikely to work again.
Friday afternoon, I joined a co-worker to go to the East-West Bank on Grand Avenue in downtown L.A. She was not yet familiar with the layout and she felt more comfortable if someone tagged along, preferably an older male who could be trusted, such as me.
Instead of Uber, she hired a Lyft ride to get there fast. However, when we reached the destination it turned out a robbery had just taken place, squelching my co-worker's plan to do some business at that bank. We got a lunch-to-go from a nearby Subway and took the Red Line back to work. Before we did that, we took photos of the activity there. We also got some quick video.
Bank Robbery
Topanga Cyn @ 101 FWY
July 2009
Some lunatics robbed a bank and now a perimeter has been set up around the Citibank. Meanwhile, a ton of people are trapped trying to get off Topanga Cyn and get on with their day. BANK ROBBERS SUCK.
I finally made it onto the 101 heading south. A few miles down I see multiple LAPD vehicles with the new SWAT MCU (sadly, not pictured) haul ass past me. I think I know where they are going.
I found out later that the Topanga Cyn location was the SECOND bank hit that day and it was probably the same people who did both robberies.
