Last weekend a garden statue was stolen from outside the front of Cavendish Court in Wallington, the sheltered accommodation in which I live. I know this doesn't compete with the reprehensible crime of stripping the names from the Carshalton War Memorial but it still takes a special brand of low-life to steal from the elderly.

The white statue of a woman holding a bowl is incredibly heavy. If anyone has seen someone offering one for sale I am sure the Wallington South local police team will be interested to hear.
