Default Low act

Hi Matt

This overnight theft of the WW1 Mortar received a lot of TV coverage on all News Channels today. It showed how they dragged it down a slop and must have had a vehicle waiting below. It is painted in Grey paint and I suspect it was "A deliberate ordered item theft" valued in excess of $40,000.00. What a low act to do right on the eve of Anzac Day. I hope they catch these lowlife gutless wonders quickly.

Cheers

Tony

This is the kind of SCUM that is littering the world with their LMF!

Give me the older generation any day. They have respect and compassion for others. No this fresh bunch of no-hopers. God help the future of the country.

Is there a photo of the mortar so we can keep an eye out for it and does it have any identifying numbers?

Low life bastards desecrating a memorial, gaol is to good for them.

Apart from that I hope everyone has a good ANZAC day.

Hi Luke and Tony

The mortar was found on the side of the road read Tailem Bend earlier today and returned to the Murray Bridge RSL under police escort. Police are seeking public support in finding the culprits. Great news on this sacred day.

Cheers

Tony

Default Great news!

Very pleased to hear it's been found.

Pity we don't have the same theft laws that some of the Muslem countries have, or the swines that stole it will be missing a hand once they get caught!

Reminds me of an episode of The Bill many years ago, where a thief accidentally severed a finger while breaking into a war veterans home. The victim brought the finger into the police station in case he was ever found, and wanted to 'keep it fresh' by adding vinegar into the bottle with the finger. When the police told him the vinegar had actually made the finger pickled and it couldn't be reattached, the old guy said "Oh dear, I hadn't thought of that" with a cheeky smile. CLASSIC!
