Then there was nowhere for Victor Traps to go. His boat was at the bottom of the cut, and before he could get away the good people of Wednesfield took up their spades and buried him then and there. They turned that part of the canal into a road, "The Wednesfield Way."
As long as there are lorries and cars running along that road Victor Traps will never be able to escape and the people of the West Midlands can sleep easy in their beds.
