A one-armed thief is being hunted by police following a
robbery at a jewellery store in Leigh-on-Sea, Essex. The robber pretended to be
looking for a gift for his mother but proceeded to knock over some boxes before
making off with a single gold cufflink in the shape of a boxing glove.
The cufflink was valued at £120 and so the police were
called in to investigate. When viewing the CCTV images, the shop staff noticed
that the thief only had one arm. A man fitting the same
description was acting suspiciously in other shops so jewellers in the area
had been alerted.
The thief is described as white, bald, wearing a dirty navy
blue bomber jacket and blue jeans. Personally, I think he must have been
working with an accomplice… After all, how on earth is he going to put the
cufflink on by himself?
Strange story! On a side note, I made falafel from scratch today! Chick peas soaked over night, boiled over, strained and mashed with spices, a bit of flour, a bit of breadcrumbs and an egg. Fashioned into patties and fried in olive oil. Yumm! Best wishes from Styria. Barbara
ReplyDeleteA one armed thief steals one cufflink. I suppose if he ever lost it, he could always go back for the other one. Still...one cufflink...not a very ambitious felon. Maybe he was just being practical... as in... "What would I do with two cufflinks?" Actually,he could pierce his ear and use the other as an earring. Do you think he may have had a fancy dress event to attend? Might be a bit dodgy to attend now that everyone is looking for a one armed thief with 120 quid boxing glove cufflink on the end of his fancy hand made shirt. Or...you think maybe he's going to have to go out and steal a one sleeve shirt? I wouldn't put it past him.
ReplyDeleteThose falafel sound good. What do you serve with them?
ReplyDeleteActually, I just ate the falafel. Kind of "fast food", I guess, because I had an urgent appointment shortly after lunch break. You could of course serve them with salad and/or with garlic yoghurt (which would be tsatsiki without cucumber) or with tsatsiki?! And pita bread. Best wishes! Barbara
ReplyDeleteI accidentally touched my mouse and it ticked "disgusting". Could you undo it?
ReplyDeleteSorry, I don't think I can but if someone else feels like ticking it, then don't and the score will be settled...
