> Police in Germany are hunting pranksters who have been sticking 
> miniature US flags into piles of dog poo in public parks.
>
> Josef Oettl, parks administrator for Bayreuth, said: "This has been 
> going on for about a year now, and there must be 2,000 to 3,000 piles 
> of excrement that have been claimed during that time."
>
> The series of incidents was originally thought to be some sort of 
> protest against the US-led invasion of Iraq.
>
> And then when it continued it was thought to be a protest against 
> President George W. Bush's campaign for
>
> re-election.
>
> But it is still going on and the police say they are completely 
> baffled as to who is to blame.

> "We have sent out extra patrols to try to catch whoever is doing this 
> in the act," said police spokesman Reiner Kuechler.
>
> "But frankly, we don't know what we would do if we caught them red 
> handed."
>
> Legal experts say there is no law against using faeces as a flag stand 
> and the federal constitution is vague on the issue.
