Depressing as it is, I'm sure this scummer will get off with a 'serious reprimand' or maybe even a £200 fine.....

Bizarre - people will collect just about anything.

When I was in grade school I briefly collected *pencils*, of all things. IIRC there were a few of us who collected them. I used to shop the drug and stationary stores for new brands.
