Not radio related but since turning on the radio of late only supplies 
one with bad news, perhaps you'll get a chuckle out of this news. Heard 
it on NPR an hour ago. Good thing Ikea doesn't sell vintage tube radios 
or I'm sure more than one NJARC member might be tempted to spend the night.

"Ikea tells teens to stop holding illegal sleepovers in its stores"

"Ikea is attempting to crack down on a new irksome trend which sees 
groups of teens visiting its stores during the day, then hiding on the 
premises and staying there all night"

"In 2015 Ikea in the Netherlands barred members of the public from 
holding games of hide-and-seek in its stores after 19,000 people signed 
up to a Facebook group promoting a game at a branch in Amsterdam."

Wonder if they got the idea from this 2014 PR ad:

You Live In Australia"
