TO CATCH A THIEF

Rather a good effort by Team Grapevine:

• Three young varlets nicked a Wii gizmo from Scooby's Bar in Sidari.
• The thieves are apparently staying at the Palm Grove.
• The filch was instantly reported on the Vine and photos included.
• In a trice they were traced and confronted and the Wii retrieved.
• They are here until Monday July 22, so everyone is determined they meet with frowns and suspicion wherever they go - Sleepless in Sidari is the plan for this bunch of blackguards.
• I'm down the airport on Monday, I wonder what flight they're on? 

I might raise a ruckus if I see them, warn ground crew and admin there be filcheurs afoot.

Grisly sight - skeletal tea-leaf

STOP PRESS

According to the Grapevine, the lads have done a bunk from their 'Palm Grove' lodgings which they also robbed - see GV posting below.

Hero Backpacker was the one who nailed them to justice in the first place. 

• "These people have robbed palm grove as well now and fled the resort, lots of alcohol and other items stolen"

FUGITIVE ~ Things getting interesting. Word has it they are not due out 'til the Gatwick flight next Monday 22nd. That's a long time for them to be dodging the cops and tenacious Viners. My bet is that they've high-tailed it out of Dodge and are heading south of the Mason-Hadrian to snoozy backwaters like Kovtokoli where we quiet folks don't get to meet this kind of excitement. I shall print a Wanted poster just for the Navigators.

CCTV - examine the CCTV photos of the theft that Sue Butchart cool-headedly lost no time putting out and hence ensured an early thwarting of these hot-heads.

Susan Butchart's number is as valid now as when she listed it in her first alarum - 6983459364 .

So is your local police number. Any bar or taverna keeper will assist.

Newsflash - this just in, 1515hrs July 18: " ... these people have managed to get on an Easyjet flight and are about to land at Gatwick. Interpol have been notified." Interpol, indeed. Wheels and butterflies.

Thwarted! 

"My dear Watson - chill. I have my methods."
