I WOULD like to appeal to anyone who received a black, cast-iron Scotty dog doorstop with a red necktie for Christmas, or had one appear in their home, or bought one at a car boot sale.

Mine was stolen stolen just before Christmas from inside my porch. Just think you could be sitting beside a thief now while reading this newspaper.

Was it a carol singer? Was it your son, daughter, grandchild or even greatgrand child?

Only the receiver knows. Why not show some honesty and make that person bring it back?

Here's hoping . . .
