BERLIN - Before leaving on vacation, a German couple set up a loudspeaker and timer with the sound of a crowing c o c k to blast their neighbors every morning.

After complaints, police in the northern town of Itzehoe obtained a warrant to enter the house and discovered the gear with the speakers aimed at the neighbors and rigged to a timer.

"The apparatus switched on between 2 and 4 o'clock in the morning and produced a c o c k crowing at an enormous volume. This would last for 20 minutes with breaks in between," police said.
