TELEVISION adverts have a big influence on viewers and should not show things that are illegal - such as the one in which a woman steals a soft toy from a child in a pram merely because it is the right colour for her paintwork.
Perhaps whoever stole the bracelet from the girl in the pram outside her home (LET, June 24) was influenced by this advertisement and the victim should be looking to complain to the Advertising Standards Authority.
