Noisy neighbour's trombone taken
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, stereosystems and amplifiers.
A 55-year-old man, of Barnraws, in Shakespeare Street, was fined £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."

If that's the case then I should be able to call the police on the neighbors and have them take away their TV's...at least the guy was practicing!
Damn the man...always bringing a guy down.
Talk about a slippery slope. Better keep an eye on your trombone, folks. At least until they're fitted with manadatory RFID tags, linked to your SSN/Nat'l. ID....
That makes me want to fly to Scotland, find those cops, and shove their "billy clubs" (that's drunken Scot for nightstick) up their kilt wearing asses. Or even worse, we could take our bones and break out some Ride next to the bonny wee cop shop...that would show them new meaning of "inflicting misery" and "anti-social behavior."
But how was his tone? :)
