Arriving In Style
Say what you will, but this man knows how to make an entrance.

Cart entry for bard theft accused
A man accused of stealing a Shakespeare folio valued at £3m arrived for a court appearance in a horse drawn carriage.
Raymond Scott, 52, of Wingate, County Durham, was dressed in Highland tartan and was accompanied by a bagpipe player at Durham Crown Court on Friday.
He faces charges relating to the theft of a first folio that went missing from Durham University Library in 1998.

Don’t know if I ever told you, but you were the first person I “met” on Lit. You invited me into Molly’s thread and made me feel at home. I really appreciated that. You also prolly know more about the “doings” of our family than just about anybody else on Lit. That’s cuz you care and are appreciated for being you.--posthumous message from Safe_Bet. And I still care and I still love her. Rest in the Light, Suzy.

Indeed! I'd like to know HOW he stole it. It certainly take a big pair to do something like that. And a wee-little brain to think you can get away with it.

Perhaps they're not showing the shackles holding his feet to the bottom of the carriage and the fact that the piper is playing a dirge, I hope, I hope, I hope . . .
