Years ago when leaving student accommodation in June, I froze the head from a shop dummy in ice and left it in the freezer.

@cstross @fesshole this was a kick ass subplot in the tv show Fringe that had one of my favorite character actors Sebastian Roché

@fesshole @cstross Not as bad as the thieves who stole a truck carrying cobalt-60.

@cstross If the owners offer a reward they might get them back.

@fesshole I wish I'd thought of that.

@fesshole @cstross My mate had his case stolen, but the case just contained oversized glossy photos of his own hairy arse. (Proofs from a photoshoot for the cover of his band's punk rock album.) I still get a kick out of imagining the thief's face.

@cstross @fesshole Thats on a par with the guy in the early 70s who stole a car without noticing the alligator in a custom seatbelt harness on the back seat. When the car was returned the owner commented to the police that it was lucky he didn't open the boot because that had a cricket bag containing an iguana and a box of tarantulas.

@cstross

Proving crime does allow you to get a head in life.
