Vigilantes in Lyon, France celebrated Valentine's Day by decorating ten speed cameras with trash bags and a large cardboard heart labeled "GAZ." The automated ticketing machines so disabled were located on Boulevard Chambaud de Bruyere, Quai Gailleton, Boulevard Stalingrad and Cours Emile Zola in Villeurbanne, Boulevard de l'Europe in Pierre Benite and Nationale 6. The group Federation francaise des motards en colere du Rhone (FFMC 69) took credit.

"We wish a happy Valentine's Day to all road users spared from these armed bandits while they are covered," the group said on Facebook.
