.....and they probably really had nothing else to do and they wouldn’t look for the old ladies snowman.

I blame global warmning.

Can Al Gore account for his whereabouts?

In other news temperatures in the area have been higher than normal.

Is 9-9-9 the Welsh version of 9-1-1?

[bgill]

The woman, from Chatham, Kent, has been “spoken to” by officers

Wow, that's so much more harsh than a congressional censure!

[Gil4]

I believe it is the emergency number throughout the UK. While the source of the article is Wales Online, this happened in Kent, which is in southeast England.

Evidently. And so much easier to remember!

This is why you don’t put a magic hat on your snowman three weeks before Christmas.

I be they were so mean, on such a nice and sunny day, the thieves even left a puddle of water where the snowman was.

Snowmen are gay?

[Revolting cat!]

Police are on the lookout for a hot snowman!

999 has been the emergency number in England for years ... ok, so now the question - how do you hide/see a snowman in a blizzard. Also, why not just take the coins and spoons instead of transporting a whole snowman ... them things do weigh a bit ....

Also, why not just take the coins and spoons instead of transporting a whole snowman ...

Maybe somebody wanted to hide a body in the snowman?

(as in an Old Time Radio program "The Saint" epi...)

Even if the police went and found the thing, how could she prove it was hers? Guess they would need to hold a snowman line-up :)

Chief Inspector Simon Black sounds like a drama queen. It’s not like the British cops are maintaining public safety.

It will probably turn out to be a gang of ‘Asian Youths’, and the woman will be arrested for a hate crime.

[Boogieman]

Or maybe they didn’t just want the money, maybe they wanted a snowman and were too lazy to make their own. Next time, I’d advise the lady to make a real ugly snowman, so nobody in their right mind would want it - a snowman only a mother could love :)

The fag was gone?

Ever seen the snowmen in Calvin and Hobbs? Now those were real snowmen ....
