One of my formative childhood memories is of watching footage of oiks with ladders stealing CCTV cameras from a railway station on Police 5 while waiting for Sunday dinner.  The video was particularly high quality, so they'd evidently made the right choice.

He was obviously using his dictaphone.  Really, there's only a fagpaper between the Swindon Advertiser and the Southend News Network these days.

I wonder if the writer of that note reads the Daily Heil. In my experience that is just the sort of petty stupid that they do.
