    Warrington bomb plaque stolen

    Haven't had an accident in years. See a lot in my rear view mirror though.

    It's very unlucky to be superstitious.

    Maggie Thatcher caused this!!

    Seriously, a nasty problem anywhere. In the city where I worked until a year ago about 65-70% of the sprinkler system caps in the city has been stolen. In my state it is customary that the graves of veterans be decorated with a bronze flag holder that holds a small flag and which lists the war in which the veteran served. In several cemeteries all the markers were stolen. Sad the memorial was stolen. Probably pikey sorts but could be anyone wanting to sell metal. Bastards!

    Only a scouser would do that.

    Hopefully this will be recovered, maybe by the scrappy who is approached to get rid of it will have a pang of guilt.

    If the scume who stole this are caught, I reckon they should be thrown in to the smelter... or maybe tied down underneath as the bucket leans over and the red hot, molten metal begins to pour.

    Bit like in Game of Thrones. A couple of 'metal heads' and I reckon we'd start to see an end to this sort of thing.

    Was this not all caught on CCTV, the modern antidote to everything antisocial?
    I'm not happy about our position in the narrative structure of this war.

    The theft of war memorial type bronze monuments is sadly a regular occurrence.

    There's at least one page on Faceache (https://www.facebook.com/InMemoriam2014) that publicises the thefts and tries to find witnesses etc.

    Right, I'm off to cleanse the streets a bit.
