Came home earlier today
To find someone
Stealing lead off my roof
Police got there in 10 minutes
Fair play to them
But he was gone
Posted in local buy and sell
Facebook groups
And within 3 minutes literally
Some one named him
After an hour over 12 people named same guy
And over 5000 people looked
At the photos
Incredible example of people power

What the Heck is this...
 
Ah, well congrats on getting the name. Did the police manage to arrest him? Presumably he's likely known to them too.
 
I know what it's called
Thanks
Not yet dowie
But yes very well known
To them
Queue of locals likely to lynch
Him if find him first though
Seems anything not nailed down
Is fair game
To fund crack cocaine habit
 
People actually do this? stealing lead from roofing? I thought it was mostly myth/the odd church it happened to.
 
I'm singing his words and putting them to Macc Lads songs - it works a treat.

Anyway, it is one of the great things about Facebook along with finding lost people and animals.
It does have great uses sometimes.

Oh sorry I got serious so I should give the standard GD reply:
Facebook? I got rid of that in 1973, waste of time.

Stealing anything to buy crack
Long queue of people
Waiting to "have a word with him"
