Someone's kidnapped one of our scarecrows!
We put him near the gate so that our visitors yesterday would be able to find us but when I went to bring him back in, he had gone.
I wonder if we'll get a ransome note?
Perhaps the council took him back to their yard? (possible case of mistaken identity, he looks like a council workman) ;D ;D ;D ;D
:-X :-X :-X
Has saddad been around? You know how much he covets one :o ;D
Seriously though Betty, hope you get him back.
Lushy x
Why not let your local paper know?
Hope he returns soon

I guess he made a great Guy for someone's bonfire. :(
or is it a cunning ruse to make another ...... ;)
what a sad old world we live in when we can't even leave a scarecrow out! :-\
I didn't do it gov, honest... I have an alibi... ;D
I don't think we'll get him back, his body parts are probably scattered all over the park by now.
I did think of emailing the local Police Station (it's almost opposite the allotments and we get on well with them) and sending a photo but I'm not sure what their sense of humour is like and didn't want to be accused of wasting police time.
1066 - I'll send the photo to the local free paper, it will be a laugh if they print it.
Hope it wasn't Kev that has gone missing.

OMG can you just imagine how devastated Shirl would have been?
You don't think the crows have flown off with it do you Betty. ;D ;D ;D
or the visitors thought it was one of them and put it in the coach ;D
I think you should go to the Police Station. He looks a bit of a wino to me and he may have been arrested for disorderly conduct and thrown into a police cell. ;D ;D
What a thing to do, is nothing safe any longer? Think you could get in touch with the local paper, just to raise awareness, though you don't want to encourage any copycat incidents either.
We have just had reported a series of crop stealings at our site. Someone broke into a plotholders shed and stole all of their stored onions and garlic, and a row of beetroot was dug up and brussel sprouts taken from other plots. it seems such a mean thing to do after all the work people have put into growing them. >:( busy_lizzie
I reckon kevs got rid of him. After all" theres only room for one guy in the village" ;D
:P

If there were more standing around looking into a hole and drinking tea, then you could be right ;D

Neil, don't forget the leaning on the shovel stance. ;D ;D ;D
;D
Ok, so I emailed our local police station, told them he was missing, and offered a reward of a butternut squash and a slice of pumpkin for his safe return.
I received this reply from the sgt:-
"Sorry to hear about it. The reward looks tempting but as Police officers we could not receive any such reward. I am sure it could help with information from the public. I have printed the photo off and will make sure the station is aware of his loss. I think the PCSO is popping over tomorrow"
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
you should do an old style wanted poster!
How wonderful Betty, restores ya faith in humankind
Do you think it will be on Crimewatch. ;D ;D I blame Cornykev, think he wanted a girl scarecrow.
Posters?

I like it. ;D ;D Perhaps they were after the designer shirt and cap.
I've got to admit I've always had my eye on that aunt Sally. :P :P :P :-* ;D ;D ;D
Love the poster, thank you Phil!
Sorry, Kev, think I have got my scarecrows muddled up. The other one (lady) was in Liverpool, I think. How do you sex a scarecrow, must be getting old as always though AC DC was a battery.

Could well be on Crimewatch, maybe I should email them.
Kev should have said if he wanted a girl scarecrow...... mind you, there would have been murder if Shirl had found out. (don't worry Kev, your secret's safe with us)
