I RECEIVED a communique from a short sighted prat on Monday written like a blackmail note addressed to Lesley Richards Esqs with all the words cut out of newspapers.

I don't know what the writer was trying to tell me except that a shop in the Spinning Gate is easy meat for thieves.

It names the store then reads: "Walk in, fill up, go out off, ezay. Shop thieves steal no warning. Soft touch."

The envelope spelled out YOBS as Young Offender Boys.

Sounds like a warning to businesses to tighten up on security to me.
