Goodness me, an article for a theft of £1!!!
It probably cost the observer more for teh time involved in typing, setting and printing those lines!!

A theft is a theft no matter what its value and should be reported. So where do you draw the line? At £10, £100, £1,000?
Did the article say how the item was stolen? For instance was a window smashed to get it? Was the door jemmied? If so that ups the value of the theft quite a bit. Or did the car owner forget to lock the car doors?
This article also warns people that there is a thief about. |
