“THIEVES IN THE VILLAGE
Last night, Sunday 16th, our car had stuff stolen from it. It was parked in our drive. We lost: prescription sunglasses, an old iPod, some binoculars and a can of screen de-icer. The sunnies and the iPod are useless to anyone but me.

I’m posting this because there have been several other incidents of theft or attempts in the village lately.
