I mean, who would do that? Give 'em the birch.

True. In which case CallMeDave's new parenting classes should stop anything similar happening in the future

Hopefully this will be a wake up call to all the scumbags that some things you just don't pinch.
Mega bad karma on them.
Is there a fund we can chip into to buy a new one?

On the contrary here - prime contender for application of Restorative Justice.

Why the birch? As they don't know its kids that have stolen it do they?

who would do that?

If you're out plotting to steal things you're already way beyond caring about the victims.

Maybe they're "disenfranchised youth", like the ones who rioted last year, in which case they've got an excuse.

Apparently stealing stuff (and setting fire to other stuff) is an expected response & guaranteed method of solving all our social problems.

Notice the nirvana the uk has become since last years riots.

We should be eternally indebted to those who could be bothered to get off their sofa's to incinerate shops and cars, and carry heavy tv's etc back home. Running with a bulky object like that's not an easy thing to do.

My thought was that surely they'll find it very hard to sell on, even to dodgy scrapyards. Hopefully some "proper 'ard crims" will put the word out in the area and it will get put back or handed in somewhere...or maybe I'm being very naive.

Unfort I think that only happens in films, honour among thieves and all that. In real life they're pretty much all vermin.

If anyone sees a fund to buy a new one please post.

Crackheads or do-as-you-likeys I'd assume.

Sometimes I wish I was a religious man so that I could sleep content knowing that sometime these obnoxious turds would find themselves in hell.

As it is, nothing will happen. Even if caught, they'll be back at it the next morning.
