Some years ago I met a racist thug who turned out to be a WMP officer and he proudly told me stories about p**i bashing and other activities that he and his fellow officers got up to.
It was a real eye opener and quite shocking so this case doesn't surprise me.
I don't collect these as I restrict myself to authors I want to read. I do envy anybody who bought a copy of her fist book though - they sell for huge amounts now.
