AK> loaded the car trunk with bricks. Suddendly there came

AK> had built a sauna and some bricks remained. It was a
AK> pity to throw it out, and they decided to carry it to
AK> this building site.

AK> was unlawful to utilise bricks in such an a way.  They
AK> said to the men, to take the bricks back and get lost.
