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.

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 . . .
