Sam in...
...but Sam's criminal mind doesn't take long to become apparent.

Noticing the nearby MoD base, his mind quickly switches from enjoying the sights of Southend...to destroying them!!!

But unbeknown to Mr Lacey, Southend's top security forces are onto him in a flash!!!
Southend Police are called, but it's the good ol' Southend Pier and Foreshore crew who spot Mr Lacey heading to the pier...
...and the race is on to save one of Britain...sorry, the World's favourite landmarks!*
*Note: Southend Pier is STILL the World's LONGEST Pleasure Pier, and long may that continue!
Sam is closely followed by the Police to the end of the Pier.
Sitting on the end of the pier, Sam knows the game is up...
Southend Police Department are just in another league!
Moments after jumping into the Sea, all that Sam gains is a new shirt! (his old one being soaked through, of course ;-) )
The arrest of Mr Lacey and subsequent banishment from Southend-on-Sea does wonders for the tourist industry in sunny Southend, who can once again live in peace, as indicated by the thumbs up from this anonymous tourist (from High Wycombe).
