Northern Constabulary are looking for anyone to come forward with any information regarding the theft of 42 pigs, and 3 tonnes of feed  :o  from a farm Near Evanton, which is on the Dingwall - Invergordon road i believe.  See Northern constabs website for more details

Maybe they were writing a long list of sayings on the TAS website - have you looked outside recently Robert? ;)

I get the impression from other articles i've read that the pigs weren't stolen in one go, but a couple taken at a time, as they were taken "through-out march" - i could be wrong though.

Yes, i read it also that hte pigs were taken throughout March, the person checking on these pigs will have known if there was any missing, or is it a disgruntaled worker getting there own back on their employer.  ???

I think the owner may be telling porkies here  2 taken at a time?. Sure it would be difficult to go the whole hog and  pinch 42 in one go but 21 visits to the scene of a crime is a bit much - I would have thought the police could have done a steak out and given the thieves the chop. They could have loin in wait for them!

Very good - these made me smile  ;D

But the case of the missing pigs is baffling  :-\ No way anyone would get the chance of more than one theft from me - we'd start sleeping in the shed  ;) :o :D

Thats becuase, Happyhippy, you are a tender loining pig keeper
I think the old ham who kept the pigs should shoulder the blame and be put through the mincer, Lets hope that some brawny farmer will bring home the bacon on this one
