Stolen sector clock
 
A PLEA FROM THE CHAIRMAN Jennifer de Donges OF HOOK MEMORIAL HALL, HOOK NR GOOLE, EAST YORKSHIRE, UK
To the despicable person who took our valuable clock from the wall inside the hall on the night of the 1st February 2017.
This was a clock used in the R.A.F. Operations Room during the 2nd world war.
We are a charity and struggle to keep things afloat and we would be most grateful if you could share this with all you friends, especially Antique dealers as this clock is very rare.
PLEASE TELEPHONE with any information
Jenny 07790508983 / 01405765407

Here is a photo of a similar clock but ours has ELLIOT on the back plate and the face is marked Keith Anderson.

Herod 15th Feb 2017 10:55

I want to second that, just give me a minute!

Heathrow Harry 15th Feb 2017 10:57

actualy better to make him have to clean the hall every week for a couple of years.............

MPN11 15th Feb 2017 10:57

... Or hung drawn and sectored?

peterperfect 15th Feb 2017 11:10

section him too, then put him on the first wave at Dover.

reds & greens 15th Feb 2017 11:23

Fantastic news.
Timely response.

NickB 15th Feb 2017 11:32

Bet he gets a right ticking off...

Sandy Parts 15th Feb 2017 11:33

Heathrow Harry 15th Feb 2017 11:43

time to draw a line under this thread?

happybiker 15th Feb 2017 13:37

Seconded!!

Heathrow Harry 15th Feb 2017 14:02

Stop winding us up................

MPN11 15th Feb 2017 14:24

OK, who nicked the key?

Pontius Navigator 15th Feb 2017 17:01

Throw the key away

peterperfect 15th Feb 2017 17:02

March the culprit off to Colchester and make sure he's not tick-tocking.

Heathrow Harry 15th Feb 2017 17:03

got to hand it to you

Slow Biker 15th Feb 2017 18:31

I wonder what happened to the sector clock that was in the explosives licensing office at HQSTC mid '80s.

superplum 15th Feb 2017 18:47

I suspect it went to Wiltshire when someone retired c16 yrs ago.
:cool:

FantomZorbin 16th Feb 2017 07:10

The first one that manages to work in "escapement" wins!

Pontius Navigator 16th Feb 2017 07:13

The thief's escape meant certainly wound up the staff who had to beef up security in time.

superplum 16th Feb 2017 08:15

Security will be more hands-on this time and be more cognisant!
:cool:

peterperfect 16th Feb 2017 13:06

gotta face it, this thread's winding me up

Heathrow Harry 16th Feb 2017 13:18

They'll have to keep a 24 hr watch on it from now

Yellow Sun 16th Feb 2017 14:07

I'm getting quite confusee'd by all this!

NutLoose 16th Feb 2017 16:09

What springs to mind is why didn't he buy a replica and swap them, no one would probably have been any the wiser in the short time and by the time they were aware of it, they wouldn't have any idea as to when it was actually stolen.......

Just as well he didn't as they soon clocked on something was amiss and a couple of pointers had the alarm bells ringing..

MPN11 16th Feb 2017 16:20

However, Justice holds a pendulum of sorts, which tends to regulate this sort of out-of-balance activity.

onetrack 17th Feb 2017 00:16

When they catch the perpetrator, I trust he gets properly clocked.

EESDL 17th Feb 2017 02:23

Was it down the back of the sofa?
This happens time and time again.......

Tashengurt 17th Feb 2017 11:46

Was it found in a second hand shop.

Innominate 17th Feb 2017 13:07

If Brexit means Brexit, does Greenwich Mean Time?

MPN11 17th Feb 2017 13:27

The PM said "I AMconcerned by this foreign 24h nonsense."

andytug 17th Feb 2017 13:31

This could be the start of a movement!

MPN11 17th Feb 2017 13:33

Watch it!

ValMORNA 17th Feb 2017 19:57

You can't Fob me off with that one!

Pontius Navigator 17th Feb 2017 21:28

This thread is ringing a false chime

Flap Track 6 18th Feb 2017 07:14

There should be a mechanism for dealing with people like this ...

Flap Track 6 18th Feb 2017 07:16

An insight into the inner workings of a criminal mind?
