Do you know any women wearing a blue rabbit onesie with Evelyn tattooed on their hand?

If so Preston police would like a chat

http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool-news/rabbit-onesie-minions-burglaries-hunt-9412281

"She is described as white, aged approximately mid 40’s with dyed red/ purplish coloured hair that was described as greasy.
She was wearing a blue rabbit onesie, a yellow Minions rucksack, a dark blue puffa jacket and she was carrying a black sleeping bag with her.
She appeared gaunt with scabs on her face and a tattoo along the side of her hand of the name ‘Evelyn’."

Should be one hell of an identity parade.

Also a desperate burglary

Aaah, the only newspaper which has ever put my photo on the front page.

Well, I say "my" photo, but there were quite a few others also in it, & although I was at the front, so were some of the others, & it was really just luck that I ended up near the middle, & I was only 12 . . .

In a more distant province I was browsing the local newspaper as I waited to fly home and

the graphic goes on to explain, in case the headline left you with any doubts.

Mind you, if you've ever dealt with African bureaucracy, you'd sympathise.

She should just get in it, go forward a few years then see who is with her.

Then go back to now and find that person.

Victim surcharge? Was there a licensed tissue seller who was undercut or something?

Just "one of those things I think. Another case, where are guy caused an accident and killed his best mate who was in the back of his van. Mates wife pleads his case and ask's that he doesn't go to jail. Guy pleads guilty at first opportunity, is distraught over mates death. Gets sent on a "restoratative justice" course as part of his punishment. WTF?  :-\
