Thieving Scum Rob Wickenby War Memorial

[Lima Juliet]

It seems some scumbags have stolen the brass badges from the memorial of former RAF Wickenby near Lincoln.

If anyone sees or knows anything then call the Police straight away...

This is what it should look like...

I hope they get what they deserve - a loss of their liberties...

Could it be that's it's just been removed to be cleaned ?

Apparently a bronze statue erected in memory of the murdered schoolgirl Sara Payne has been stolen from her primary school.
I wish I could still be surprised by the lack morals in these thieves. :sad:

Hope they are found and the miscreants dealt with. They are beneath contempt, IMHO anyway

It's been found, sat up against a property and undamaged, one thinks the thieves must have realised when it was spread across the news what it was and how unsellable it suddenly become and how the public outcry if they were caught would no doubt increase their sentence.

I have posted my reply to this outrageous theft on another forum and I think the rules are that I cant do the same here ??
Any way I am on the case chaps.

BTW, despite the BBC saying it is a museum, Wickenby is still a friendly active airfield.

Good, no longer "scum" but still thieves... :=

[ShotOne]

Just as well. I only looked at the thread to find out who Rob Wickenby was.

[Herod]

My guess is that they tried to sell them to a scrap dealer, who quite rightly refused, and possibly threatened to report them to the police if they didn't give them back.

I tend to agree. Too hot to handle.

[Robert Cooper]

At least we got them back. You are probably right Herod.

Totally OT but another airfield with an excellent museum that no one seems to know about is Sleap over by Shawbury.

Glad to see that the issue has been resolved at Wickenby.
