Cleaning lady steals train and crashes into house
Officials remain baffled as to why a cleaning lady commandeered a train in the upscale Stockholm suburb of Saltsjöbaden early Tuesday morning and crashed it into a house, where it remains while crews work out how to safely remove the wreckage...

She has since been ordered detained on suspicion of public devastation (allmänfarlig ödeläggelse).
Why can't we have cool-sounding offeces like that?
Criminal damage sounds boring by comparison.

They build houses on train tracks in Sweden?
Luckily, it's probably an IKEA house, which means it was only cardboard anyway. They'll just order a new one and assemble it themselves with an Allen wrench.

Wassamarrer, didn't no-one learn you to talk proper?

Allen key, hex key, and Allen wrench are all proper. Spanner is a synonym for wrench.

The station at Saltsjöbaden is a terminus, and that house is immediately beyond the end of the tracks.

Nope.
A spanner is called a spanner cos it spans the flats of a nut. A wrench does something similar, it grips something by grasping it.
Key is correct.
I think.
