Herald catches thief in the act

Stakeout pays off. Why can't the police do this?



Concerned Willieburgers (Feargal, I told you don't use that word! Ed.) citizens have been complaining about theft of bird food by non-birds. Some thought they could foil the thieves by hanging bird feeders from the middle of clothes lines. As this picture reveals, some sort of bushy-tailed creature (perhaps a rat in disguise?) is able to tightrope walk the clothes line to raid the bird food. It is thought to be too small to be the Beast of Willesden.
