Your pollution is disgusting! You are aware you're prohibited from polluting beyond your property line, I know this for a fact. I have a whole gallery demonstrating your inability to handle your pollution responsibly, and am happy to share...

Report
A friend of mine says that he had many old cars stolen off his property and found some of them in their scrap heap and after an investigation they ended up receiving 19 counts of keeping improper records. Apparently these cars must have "got by". Stuff like this just doesn't normally happen without a little help from the inside. I have no reason to doubt the word close my friend of 60 years, who says he still has all the documentation.
