The war memorial had just had £13,000 spent on it for a restoration and now this has happened . Seems that the plaques were "theft Proof " but they removed the plaques with a crowbar Maybe the newspapers will have reports and hopefully the culprits will be traced and put before a court of law pat w anderson Back to top spoons Joined: 09 Jan 2007 Posts: 4991 Location: St John's Town of Dalry Posted: Wed Jul 31, 2013 3:43 pm    Post subject: Shocking, full story and local man puts up reward http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-tayside-central-23518670 \Paul Back to top spoons Joined: 09 Jan 2007 Posts: 4991 Location: St John's Town of Dalry Posted: Thu Aug 01, 2013 11:57 am    Post subject: they've been found http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-tayside-central-23532147 \Paul Back to top Adam Brown Curator Joined: 14 Dec 2006 Posts: 7312 Location: Edinburgh (From Sutherland) Posted: Thu Aug 01, 2013 12:11 pm    Post subject: Good news Paul.

I imagine the press coverage has made them too hot to handle for the thieves. Derek.
