A man in Almeria, Spain, disposed of an old fridge by throwing it down a steep incline. Thinking it amusing, he had video recorded of the act and posted to social media. It went viral, the authorities found out about it, and he has now been fined—and ordered to retrieve the fridge.
He was fined €45,000 (£41,000; $50,000) and made to dispose of the appliance appropriately.

"How many twists and turns has it done?"
Fifty thousand dollars for fly tipping! Not fucking around in Spain, are they?
