So many interesting things could be bubbling under the surface of this story. What were the items stolen and were they connected in some way? What was stolen from a 'town-based' artist? Why will the thief's next court appearance be via video? Come on! Let's get some decent reporting in chaps.

I like you molesworth, some of your comments are really quite entertaining - but you obviously know nothing of reporting restrictions or the concept of contempt of court.

This is not poor reportage, it's accurate within the bounds of the law.

It is not a media outlet's job to try the accused... We have a judicial system for that.
