Sent this to the paper but they never published.

Has the recession made you a cross thief?
Have you seen a cross thief lately? We've all heard of lead being stolen from church roofs, but now, they are taking crosses from Leicester's only Christian Hotel, Campbells. Owner Paul Campbell says. 'Actually I'm usually quite pleased if they take the Gideons Bible from the rooms, but I rather liked that lovely old wrought iron cross. My late grandfather, James Reeve, a sub-editor at the Eastern Daily Press in Norwich, gave it to me.

If you know any crooks that have suddenly become all religious give me a call !
