Another followed instruc- tions but ignored a prominent “closed for construction” sign and plowed into a pile of sand. Said an exasperated German auto club spokesman, “It’s not as if people are driving in a tank with only a small slit to see out.” (In November, an ambulance in London went 400 miles to make a 20-minute trip, and in May another took 90 minutes to take a crash victim to a hospital 10 minutes away, both due to faulty “sat-nav” programming.) ■ Burglar Sheldon Reece, 32, was shot in the abdomen by homeowner Abel Sisneros in Fort Worth, Texas, in December. According to a report in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, to enter the house, Reece had to bold- ly disregard two signs outside: “Warning. Nothing inside is worth risking your life for. Owners of this property are highly skilled to pro- tect life, liberty and property from criminal attacks” and “No tres- passing. Violators will be shot.
