Police divers on the Georges River in Sydney have taken a break after recovering 36 cars dumped in the waterway. New tactics are required to remove the remaining 24 vehicles which are embedded deeper in the mire than a bhat fly in a Peace Corps worker's forehead. 23 of the extracted machines have been confirmed stolen prior to their arrival in their watery grave. Meanwhile, we like to imagine the Australian Schwimmpolizei sitting around the barbie, sipping beers and cranking the brothers Van Halen. That's what off-duty Australian cops do, right? [ABC, AU]
