So, Vinny Reed would be right in saying that was the joke if Wimpy Kid's comment were about the situation being preposterous, but it wasn't about that. It was about it being much more likely that Tom meant that about the father.

A kid can make a hell of a racket with a drum kit. I bet the guy was willing to pay you to take it away.

Fun fact two years later: Trespass in the UK becomes actual trespass (and therefore illegal) only once the property owner (or his representative - shop manager, bar-keep, bouncer etc) has actually told the unwanted person or people to leave. Which is why in the great Harrods sit-in a few years ago, the shop staff got the police to come down, then told the folks involved in the sit-in to leave - they knew the police couldn't do anything until the sit-in folks had been told but once they had been told the police had the power to shift them if they didn't go voluntarily. So, no, you weren't trespassing on private land but if the owner had asked you to leave and you didn't, that's when it would have become trespass. And that, pinching Tom's phrase, is something you might not have known. (I did the SIA door supervisor course a few years ago, we had to learn this stuff, is how I know it.)

When you buy a drum kit for a small child, there's no batteries to remove. first there would have been joy when he got notified it was sold, then the deflation when you handed him a pound, probably didn't know whether to thank you for the peace and quiet he gets, or to be angry at the measly reward. :D

Old video, but I can certainly tell you why he was selling it for a pound. A family member had almost certainly given the kid a drum kit for Christmas, and it was driving the poor parents insane. Source: my uncle gave me a drum kit for Christmas, when we lived in a tiny apartment. My mom didn't speak to him for several weeks afrerwards.

That was a fun day - I also got one of my favourite photos of me on that day on the Flying Fox (thanks Matt).

I think there's more to the trespass thing in the UK than you mention. It's not a criminal offence, but you can be sued for trespass. So, if a sign says "trespassers will be prosecuted", it should actually say "trespassers will be sued".
