Kids will be kids, right? Well, in the town of Caister-on-Sea, near Great Yarmouth (about three hours from London), police have asked local grocers to help out in preventing kids from being quite so kid-like. Area residents were reporting having ketchup squirted at their cars and, while that's not a criminal act on its own, if the ketchup were to cause damage to the paint, the perpetrators would be liable. So the police went to the grocery stores and asked them to stop selling ketchup (and eggs) to young people in bulk amounts, in order to prevent this "anti-social behavior." Apparently the action is making a difference, as without easy access to their chosen mischief media, the teens are settling back into their law-abiding behavior.
