Well done to Alan Sugar, 'my hat off to you sir'

He's replacing the presents with Amstrad emailers.

Terrible, can't tell if Sugar is just doing it for the publicity, or if he really cares. Either way it's good for the children though.![]()
Whilst you can never defend thievery.
Is it not possible that said theif thought "If I take these there will be an outcry and pretty quickly some rich guy will come along and replace them anyway" hence taking away (at least in their head) the evilness of it.
Afterall, when you think about it, ultimately the thief stole off Alan Sugar (and we tend to admire Robin Hood types don't we) not the kids.

.In the stocks, in a very public place with lots of rotten fruit on hand to throw at them. Public humiliation for the win.
Don't let the lack of any available facts get in the way of your right wing rant.
Bring back the stocks for these kinds of scum-bags; seriously public humiliation of that kind would be a hell of a lot more deterrent than tags, fines and community service they hand out to thieves.
