Michael Clarkson, who lives in London and rents out his house in Exeter to students, said: "I can see that outsiders would find it amusing but when it is your own property it is not remotely funny." The homeowner, who spent £90,000 renovating his house and decorated the outside in a coat of vivid pink, failed to see the funny side when practical jokers spray-painted the building with yellow spots. The students who live in the house did not notice when they returned after a night out. It was only pointed out to them next morning when a plumber came to call.
