HUNDREDS of pounds worth of ornamental fish have been stolen from outside the corporate headquarters of Hyundai UK, in Easton Street, High Wycombe.

You would think that someone in a small town would notice folks running through town with 3' long fish. Then again, maybe they did it before 10pm...

The English are notorious for fish-and-chips.

True. Maybe some pubs and chip shops should be investigated. :-) I'll take the pubs...

I wonder why these folks assume a human took the fish?

There are a number of our furry creatures that love fish also...

Why are they carping about this? Aren't there more pressing issues to tackle? But, maybe the local cops will hook the culprits.
