In Tilburg, in the province of Brabant (south of the Netherlands) a garden gnome
in the front garden was programmed to whistle to people passing by.
However the electronics got stuck and the troll whistled all day and night.
The owners weren't bothered, as they were on holiday.

Eventually the cops cut the power supply a few days ago after dozens of
complaints.

Maybe some people here need their power supply cut off - or at least seriously
checked.
