I sometimes dream of this celebrity endorsement... you know I knit a sweater and someone pays 400 Euro without asking :-DDD (while calculating in my head, its still much too cheap, as the good quality wool - which I never use- would cost around 60-100 euro)
And with the police, its the similar here. Homeless people are not allowed to stay in warm places like the subway or train station, they get reported and/or expelled. But it varies from town to town, how hard the administration takes action.
