Thieves admit they were 'being stupid and completely selfish'

A Lincoln woman “devastated” after the theft of a sentimental Buddha statue gifted by her mum, was relieved when it was returned with a letter of heartfelt apologies.

Chanelle was “devastated” when she realised her Buddha statue had been taken from outside of her home in Lincoln.She added: “When I came out on the Sunday I was half expecting the base to have been taken, and when I saw the Buddha returned I almost cried with relief. “About a year ago I met my partner, we sat on your old chairs and talked for hours. Ever since then we’ve walked past the Buddha and patted it on the head for good luck. It has always been a sentimental memory for us.

The students continued in their letter, saying: “We even planned to buy you a new one so then nothing would be lost. I’m sorry we didn’t think about the sentimental value it might have to you. “I’m sorry to hear about your mum. I hope she feels better. Please keep your Buddha safe and away from us mindless students.”Page two of the ‘heartfelt apology’ letter.

Whole Foods Decision to Pull Lobster Divides Enviros, PolsEnvironmental groups are once again at odds with politicians and fishermen in New England in the wake of a decision by high-end retail giant Whole Foods to stop selling Maine lobster. Whole Foods recently said that it will stop selling lobster from the Gulf of Maine at hundreds of its stores around the country. The company cited decisions by a pair of sustainability organizations to take away their endorsements of the U.S. lobster fishing industry. The organizations, Marine Stewardship Council and Seafood Watch, both cited concerns about risks to rare North Atlantic right whales from fishing gear. Entanglement in gear is one of the biggest threats to the whales. They're not selling lobsters around Christmas time? That is ridiculous. Maine should boycott all Jeff Bezos ‘ operations !
