I am aware that, in the UK, a person can still be executed for treason and you can technically hang a man for stealing your car. The car one is clever as it dates back to the time of horses. If someone stole your horse, it was deemed that they stole your livelihood as the horse was your transport to convey both yourself and your goods. The car replaced the horse and the law was not repealed, therefore, if you are willing to risk a murder charge, you can legally hang somebody for stealing your car. One local bye-law, that was only repealed around 10 years ago, applied in a Northern village called Blackhall. The law allowed you to have sex, in public, on one side of the street but not the other. That law went back a few hundred years. Sadly, no! you can't go to Blackhall and have sex in public, it's illegal throughout the village now LOL
