    Pre-match entertainment suggestion.
    Find the lovely person that did this and make him face a firing squad in the centre circle, before kick off on Good Friday.
    Lower than low. Not so much what was stolen, but that an 82 year old was robbed.

    He's lucky he doesn't live in one of those countries where if you steal you can lose a limb, so you can't do it again.

    At school we used to have a thing called ‘The Mill’ where the boys would line up in two rows and you had to walk/run through whilst being kicked and punched, anything went just no head shots. Line everyone up and have them walk through.

    Contrary to popular belief, the punishment of removing an hand is not to stop people stealing again. It is to bring humiliation to the criminal by making them wipe their backside and eat with the same hand.

    Is that why in civilised countries that punishment isnt used. Personally I use bog paper to wipe my backside and eat with a knife and fork

    But back to the OP - I just hope they catch the low life thats robbed an 82 year old of a posession he doubtless treasured and not for any monetay value

    Reminds me of a question posed to me by a teacher when I was gazing out of a window;
    Teacher: Oi Brilleaux - which hand do you wipe your derriere with
    Me: (flustered 'cos I was anywhere but in Religious Education) I think my right hand sir
    Teacher: That's strange Brilleaux, I'm sure the rest of form 3C, like myself, use toilet paper

    Cue much merriment amongst class.............
