      Probably to go with something else the cretin or cretins stole from someone else. Perhaps there is a crooked shopkeeper in the area who arranged to have it stolen to order?.besides, what is worth stealing from a chip shop?

        Good point! It highlight the silly nature of the crime. Tesco with a Post Office and an ATM was right next door. Not that I condone robbery but they’ve aimed for Hatton Garden but ended up in the sewage system next door.

    That’s a point what the hell would your average bumpkin do with a slush puppy machine if he didn’t have someone to sell it too already?
