It looks like police in Zurich are subscribing to the "if you can't beat them, build them little huts to do the nasty in" theory of prostitution control. Only in Europe.
Prostitution has become such a problem in Switzerland that Zurich officials have made proposals to add "*** boxes" to the city. The idea itself is adopted from German cities like Essen and Cologne, and will be a way for prostitution to continue on behind closed, uh, doors.
The boxes will serve as quickie drive-throughs, so-to-speak, and will free up city streets from unsightly acts that haunt Zurich residents whose homes overlook the city's red light district. "They get up to all sorts in broad daylight - and we're sick to death of looking at it," one resident told the U.K.'s Metro. (Snuggie + *** = Snuggie Sutra?)
From the looks of things, the boxes are big enough to conceal vehicles while prostitutes and clients handle business, away from the public eye.
