Man Charged in Norway

For parking offence

A 135m-long vessel was found illegally parked in the garden of Johan Helberg's house near Trondheim, Norway.

According to Sky News:

Police launched an investigation into the incident and have charged a Ukrainian man in his 30s who was serving as second officer aboard the vessel.

The crew claimed that there were no 'No parking' signs in Helberg's garden so they thought it would be OK to pull up to his house and park for the night while they took a snooze.

Helberg told FNN:

I'm sick to death of tankers parking in my garden. How would you like to wake up, open the curtains and see the prow of a ship right outside your window?

He's got a point.

Interesting?
