    “Looks like he's been caught, hook line & sinker; he'll probably feel the full weight of the scales of justice the goods would probably only fetch a couple of squid if he tried to sell them; clearly he's not a (river) bank robber, I wonder if the property is secured with a Chubb lock, clearly he is "pond life" ........... etc etc”

    “i supposed they "trawled " through the cctv footage.......i could go on and on "carping" on about this but i guess i just need to "float" on by and get onto "current" matters, did the staff say...."weir" in big trouble now ? still the culprits time is shortened now its on the "net" when he is caught i guess he could do with a stiff "rod" for punishment. is the footage in "reel" time and if he is caught "eel" be in for it and maybe the police will hold a "line" up of suspects”

    “That picture is terrible.

    In this day and age, a good quality cctv camera is very cheap. If you put that much stock in the shop, leave it completely unattended, and use such a poor security system, this is going to happen eventually. Sad but true.

    Even so, how he can be quite so brazen is beyond me. What were the staff doing?”
