A ONE-ARMED thief is being hunted after he stole a SINGLE cuff-link from a jewellers shop in Leigh-on-Sea, Essex.
The thief pretended to be looking for a present for his mother when he knocked boxes of cuff-links on the floor and made off with one. The cuff-link is worth £120. Sally Ann Manthorp, who works at the shop, said: "It wasn't until we watched the CCTV we saw he had an empty sleeve tucked in his pocket."
The thief is described as white, bald, wearing a dirty navy blue bomber jacket and blue jeans, SCOTCH IN APPEARANCE and drinking a bottle of BUCKFAST.
He obviously had a BLACK TIE SOIREE to attend that very EVENING.

How can anyone be 'Scotch in appearance'?
A translucent pale amber complection rab?
Aye, sounds about right Conan!
Rab, I think the fact he was wearing a kilt and drinking a bottle of buckie was probably a give away!
Conan, aye a kind of whitish blue tinged with flecks of red about the nose and face. Sounds about right.
Rab, actually I stuck that in as it wasn't in the original story to see if there were any racist remarks. There weren't although now I've said that there will be.
He must have been a "bandit"
Hey DL check this out - it should be on your blog - another example of Scottish geniuses at work.

Stouters, not a paper I normally read and considering the mistakes in spelling in the article, that will stay that way. However to please you I sneaked a look and it does look an interesting concept. There are some questions like, can you fish during the crossing? Who comes out to it if it breaks down the RAC or the Coast Guard? Can it capsize? How many drivers have drowned this week? If you put luggage in the luggage rack will it get wet? Can you pish oot the windae when you are at river? Do you have to reserve your plaice? Are there any sharks in the Renfrew? Is there a viewing deck downstairs for upstairs passengers? Do they come round serving drinks, teas and coffee? Does the stewardess have big knockers? Is the Steward a shirtlifter? Does the driver need a Captain's license as well as a PSV? Why does the water not go up the exhaust pipe?
Until these issues have been resolved I wouldn't touch it with a bargepole!
Obviously, judging by the colour, it was designed as a "submarine"! If it was I presume the terminus was at Faslane.
That would have given them damned Rooshans a shock when a bus load of Jimmies turned up of Murmansk; painted blue and waving sharp bits of metal around, asking fer theres mony back and headin fer the nearest boozer.
Grappins, particularly that bit when we turned round and bared 'oor big hairy erses' at them! There would be a few bemused Muskovites that day when they got drunk under the table by a wee weedy Scotman.
