This was in the news today:
70,000 Cadbury eggs lorry stolen
A lorry containing Cadbury chocolate eggs worth an estimated £70,000 has been stolen in Staffordshire. Thieves tricked the driver, who had stopped near Lichfield en route from the Birmingham factory to Yorkshire, saying the van was shedding its load. When he got out of his cab to investigate, the men jumped in and made off with the eggs on Monday.
But they may end up eating the snacks themselves, as a Cadbury spokesman said the eggs would be hard to sell. "The criminal fraternity are pretty thick, it's not likely that a reputable retailer will buy them and it's likely that they will turn up at car boot sales in the area," he added.
I would just like to point out a) I have an alibi for Monday and b) I'm off to Birmingham for some car boot sales.

Hi Laura
I can tell you that the Cadbury egg hi-jackers share my staff room. You will note the proximity of A42/M42 to LE11, they have not purchased their usual stash of eggs for two days. Conclusion they have their ill-gotten gains in the old college sports hall, they have no intention of selling on at car boot sales. They claim this supply will only last until Easter and only then with rationing and definitely no sharing.
