Hanging Basket Stolen From Dorset Chip Shop.
(precis)
"ALTHOUGH hanging baskets had been stolen from outside his fish and chip shop in the past, Mr **** ***** manager of ***** in Dorset, he decided to buy one of the best at the local garden centre- and to secure it with a chain.
Sadly on Sunday evening, someone chipped through the chain and made off with a large basket containing traling lobelia, fushias and pinks.
"It`s so dissapointing , this was the first one I had put up in years ",he said "It isn`t the cost it`s the principal"."

I would adore to see how the NOTW would treat this story, we have unfortunately laughed for quite a while about it! Dog bites man or what?
