And here's a thought - after you've paid your fine you're left with a couple of liberated acres of farmland, worth far more than the fine.

Uh huh. Absolutely. Farmland is making, depending on quality, about €10,000 an acre at the moment. I'm correctable on this, but I skimmed the 2004 Amendment Act (the motorway act) as well yesterday and found only updated fines that referred to 'national monuments', rather than 'monuments'. Prison time might have some effect - if they get it (doubtful).

I read a depressing quote, along the same lines as your comment recently. I'll try and dig it out.
