Shortly after Jimmy began blasting local Devon residents with Puff the Magic Dragon at the protest against the A30 road-building, an article appeared in the Big Issue (mag by and for the UK homeless), by self-styled "art terrorist" Stuart Home describing how he was kidnapped and shown an arsenal of weapons at Jimmy's house.
The article was a spoof, but the UK security services took it seriously and put Jimmmy's house under surveillance for several days before finally 30 police with sniffer dogs turned up and searched the place from top to bottom. They found nothing, except the two Saracens which were both properly taxed and insured. Jimmy was released without charge. He said "I suppose if you take two tanks to a road protest you've got to expect the authorities to get involved." Finally, the two Saracens were towed from the road protest with Jimmy's consent, (but not cooperation). A few weeks later he took them back.
