"Unfortunately there has been a very serious break-in and theft from our main archive in Canterbury. Over 850 Anglo-Saxon glass beads, large quantities of coins and metal artefacts, and replicas from our education collection have been taken. Please spread the word!"
I can't publish the words in my head here on this forum!!

Re: Extremely Serious Break-in Canterbury Lots Stolen
I have just seen this Paul on FB! This is sickening! No regard for history or heritage. The coins and artifacts will undoubtedly leave these shores never to be seen again - by anyone!

Re: Extremely Serious Break-in Canterbury Lots Stolen
I heard about it soon after it happened, Andrew Richardson is an acquaintance of mine. It seems that they were metal thieves after copper piping and cable, and thought they had found King Tuts Tomb. Do as you likeys I suspect. Local Heritage Crime Officer has asked anyone going to bootfairs Etc. to keep an eye out for likely objects for sale at stupid prices.
Just because you are not paranoid, it does not mean that they are not out to get you
