Featured Replies

Must be winter in Australia. What bait would YOU use to catch a Versace necklace?

The thief was caught on CCTV trying to hook the A$800 (US$529; £414) jewellery off a mannequin's neck.

 

He poked the rod through a hole he chipped in the store's window without setting off the alarm, police said.

 

Using two rods, the thief took three hours to land his catch, reeling in the necklace at about 02:00 on 24 February.

 

Steven Adigrati, owner of the Le Style boutique, told local media he was stunned by the "outrageous and courageous" theft.

   I'm surprised he didn't hold it at arm's length in front of the camera to make it appear larger.   ??       jj

They'll catch him when he posts a pic of his catch.
