Apparently it wasn't just the one pair of bins that got stolen. Lancs police are reporting £6000 of goods ( think it was 3 pairs) in total. Can't decide whether I want the bloke to be a birder(increasing the chances of him being recognised by someone in birding circles) or not (because I always had birders down as being a generally honest bunch). Or maybe im being naive?

Someone stole a pair of Swarovski EL Swarovision EL 10x32 Binoculars (worth £1600) from one of the Viewpoint Optics who were exhibitors at a Wetland Centre in Lancashire yesterday. Unfortunately for them, they had our GoPro camera running and filmed this.... if you can name the guy in the light grey hat, call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. Naturally, Lancashire Police would like to know his identity. link below for a picture
