Thread: Large Theft of Coticules from Factory

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.

Was zat hiees dog??

If it weren't for the money stolen I'd wonder if it wasn't a Haddict. Someone who is so coticule crazy they would burgle the business and just keep the rocks. If they try to sell them on internet they'll probably be caught. Unless they just peddle them at some sort of flea market or something like that. Very odd to say the least.

Jimmy? Jimmy? Fess up now. Not too late!
I agree, a strange burglary. Still, the amount of money stolen could be more than the stone's worth. Details sometimes cannot be divulged during an investigation. Folks work hard, gather-up product, sell some. Then a real retrobate comes along and takes past AND future sales as well as a pile of work. Most disappointing and leads to angry feelings.

A blast from the past ........ storeroom at Ardennes Coticule ;

It is going to be fairly hard to positively identify a stolen piece of stone, unless this guy sells loads at once it won't be easy to trace. I know someone spoke of photos but if he re cuts them they won't look the same.

I hope it gets sorted out though.

Obviously an inside job.

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.
