As the President of Tunisia had to leave his country in a bit of a hurry - some of the toys have been claimed back by his countrymen....

President Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali has fled his country after a 20 year dictatorship - some of his countrymen have decided to have a divvy-up with whats left. I am sure keen JCB boss and keen Ferrari collector Mr Bamford will be delighted to see one his machines performing such a useful task for the dissaffected countrymen of Tunisia.

Anyway - I would not shed too many tears for Ben Ali - apparently he left with 1.5 tonnes of gold - valued at 45 million Euros...or to put it another way - 3 x 250 GTO's worth of ingots - based on a recent high profile deal...
