    Sorry to be a grump but i don't think making this into a joke is really appropriate, a small business has lost a lot of their stock and cash.
    this isn't aimed at one person in particular but at a few of you.

    Gee I guess that was aimed at me too then.
    Obviously I take the robbery seriously and agree with stiff consequences should the culprit be caught.

    But I ask you, Isn't that like saying don't joke about Rob Ford because of the seriousness of Canadian politics.
    Don't make jest of any serious topic?

    And yes of course I will be vigilant with regard to sales of coticules

    Oh come on Ed. How much stock can one person carry off? This is an unfortunate incident but no-one lost a life - and there's more of where they came from - so the stock can be replaced.

    Sorry for finding it inappropriate to ridicule someone else's misfortune. You carry on.
    Also I thought that the purpose of this thread was to highlight the fact that a lot of stuff had been stolen, so people would keep an eye out for it.

    They took cash too, profit, maybe wages, maybe money to pay suppliers etc. Whether there is more in the ground or not the time taken to produce that stock can not the replaced and it can be damaging for a business to lose cash flow. Its not just that but this is their business, their life and someone had violated it, damaged their property getting in to help themselves to stones and cash.

    Everyone handles things differently but we'll make a note that if you get burgled it'll beOK to have a laugh about it.

    Darn, if someone died for it, that would be more than sad. And, stealing coticule stones? A genius like this will probably get caught easily. They can check the antique shops or knife and stuff shops in the area. There is also the chance that, he'll play with them for a week and then return them with a note "sorry". Ebay is also a possible way to sell them, so, if you know how they look like... you can buy them, find his address, and do what you will with it .
    And, the Romans did it first, but they were the Romans.

    Zis is surely a case for Inspecteur Poirot-non? Ze disappearing Coticules - stolen by a petite homme who spoke with a distinct Belgian accent. He was last seen walking away, very slowly, wiz a grande bag slung over his shoulder.

    Ze Belgian police have reqested that their French neighbours put Inspector Cleuseau on ze case to help as well.

    I hope to keep you well informed of developments. In ze meantime if you see a big hone offret at small prix - please contact the Begian consulate.
