A trombone was seized by police in Dumfries after complaints about noise coming from a flat in the town.

Other items taken included a drum kit, electric guitars, a television, radio, stereo systems and amplifiers.

A 55-year-old man, of Barnraws, in Shakespeare Street, was fined Â£200 under the Civic Government (Scotland) Act 1982 at Dumfries Sheriff Court.

The court ordered the forfeit of the sound-making items which police said could "inflict misery" on neighbours.

The conviction related to a number of complaints of continuous noise and antisocial behaviour coming from the town centre flat.

The complaints were jointly investigated by local police and noise reduction officers.

'Antisocial behaviour'

Police said the action showed they would crack down on people causing a noise nuisance.

"Dumfries and Galloway Constabulary is committed to addressing community concerns through working closely with partnership agencies," said Ch Insp Michael Collins.

"In this case the man concerned has been creating a nuisance to his neighbours for some time.

"We are delighted that the court has seen fit to forfeit the equipment this man used to indulge in antisocial behaviour and inflict misery on his neighbours."

I wish they would do that to the clowns who insist on sharing their music in their cars with me. I don't hear the subwoofers but I can feel it for miles around.

Also, on the day that many in my area saw fit to take the day off to honor illegal aliens (Monday, May 1), I was working at home and my neighbors on both sides (who were honoring the holiday) were having speaker wars with each other and I was caught in the crossfire. I guess they didn't want me to work, either.

Wow! I thought one had to manipulate a viola "to indulge in antisocial behaviour and inflict misery on his neighbours."

I don't live in that cultured a neighborhood. They think my tubas are part of my gun collection.
