why are we only reading about this some eleven days after the fact? The thieves will have had all this time to dispose of their ill gotten gains via their preferred High Street 'Cash Convertors' type fence.

A couple of such items have just come up for sale (not auction) on eBay. Price £160 including box.

Just had a look, Cater Wood, and could find nothing that looked likely. In any case, all that are on eBay seem to be way over the top for Basildon, they start at around £350.

These crooks were flaming cheeky. Let's hope our marvellous police force is more than a match for them!
