Wednesday's Quote of the Day
"If we receive several reports of street robbery in a certain location, we send out the granny" - Dutch police, who deploy officers dressed as frail elderly women to trick muggers.
"That soon quietens things down," says a police spokesman in the city of Gouda. It's an adaptable approach also used in Amsterdam, where police - who already send out decoy prostitutes to stop attacks in the red light district - will reportedly go out in Jewish garb in an effort to cut the number of anti-Semitic verbal and physical attacks.
