Why?

[Malcolm Robinson]

Scumbags!

They have no respect for the fallen soldiers of this county, completely disgusting.

The fact that they are stealing the stuf in the first place shows that they have no morals or remorse so why would they stop at something like this that looked valuable??

 

It's the lowest of low to do that to someone but then the sentimental value that the particular item holds makes it even worse.

 

I do hope they get it back.

 

 

Would it be worth mentioning Op Soundwave which the local constabulary are running here?

Create an inventory of your items and get them back if they are found.

[Symptoms]

I'm sure that the Peelers will catch the "scumbags" but the magistrates will only dish out 35 minutes of community service.  It might not even get to the Beaks as the DPP'll will probably deem it not in the public interest to proceed with a prosecution.
