Knocker Door Run

The ingenuity of the criminal mind never ceases to amaze me. For example, Lincolnshire Police are looking into the theft of £100 worth of Daniel Axel bras from a store on Eastgate in Louth.

Nothing too surprising about that, you might think, except that the theft happened at around 01:50 on Tuesday morning, and was apparently accomplished by using some kind of tool to snag the bras from a display rack near the shop door, and slip them out through the letter box. No doubt police would like to be kept abreast of developments.

Distressingly bad puns aside, it's a shame the perpetrators can't find a better use for their obvious intelligence than filching frillies in the dead of night, because a mind like that could go far. As it is, it's unlikely to go much further than the local slammer - definitely, for them, the booby prize.
