Unlocky

Baffled Zhou Fen stood outside his apartment block for a day apologising to every passer by in a bid to halt an anonymous hate campaign where the door lock to his flat has been vandalised with super-glue more than 30 times in a year.

"I have no idea who I could have upset so badly so I've tried to apologise to everyone who came and went from the apartment block and I hope it will stop," explained Zhou, from Chongqing city, southern China.
