They will steal anything

IT IS difficult to understand how a banner advertising a canal day could be of use to a thief, but such has been stolen from a bridge on the Oxford Canal, Alan Tilbury tells us.

 

It took Project Manager of the Oxford Canal Heritage Project Maria Parsons,  a week to produce the banner by hand advertising this week-end's Canal Day, about the history and culture of the Oxford Canal to be held at the Old Fire Station today (Saturday).

But no sooner had it been attached to Hythe Bridge last Sunday, than it was stolen.

Maria tells that she feels really miserable after all the work she put into it, and doesn't see any point to stealing it as it could be of little use to anyone.
