BEFORE leaving on holiday, a German couple set up a loudspeaker and timer with the sound of a crowing cock to blast their neighbours every morning.
After complaints, police in the northern town of Itzehoe obtained a warrant to enter the house and discovered the gear with the speakers aimed at the neighbours' home and rigged to a timer.
"The apparatus switched on between two and four o'clock in the morning and produced a cock crowing at an enormous volume. This would last for 20 minutes with breaks in between," police said.
Police confiscated the gear and charged the holidaymakers, who are still away, with bodily harm and disturbing the peace.
The neighbours had no history of antagonism.
