As if to prove a point mentioned in the Paper Shop yesterday about crime levels - the BBC News website reports a warning from LBP: Police have issued a warning for Borderers to be on their guard following two purse thefts in the area.

A round up of some of the more parochial stories from some of the local weekly newspapers in the Scottish Borders and Northumberland. A brief outline of the stories you may have missed, the stories that really weren't stories in the first place and the stories that you wish you'd missed.
As with any paper shop - interesting snippets will be picked up and reported here, although no items for sale will be accepted for display in the window.

We once had a crime wave in Hutton when a bike was nicked. But justice triumphed. The thief was caught wheeling the bike up hill-he had stolen one without gears. Sad

Reminds me of a story related to me by a solicitor friend - some miscreant had stolen about a hundredweight of scrap iron and was caught redhanded by a pursuing copper.... the first question the copper asked apparently was "why didn't you just drop it and run?" "Christ! I never thought of that" came the reply.
