SELWYN TIMES<br />

I’M SURE there’s many in the Lincoln<br />

Springston areas who would like to get<br />

their hands on the low lifes who have<br />

stolen plaques from graves (see page 1).<br />

Taking the plaques from the cemetery<br />

can only be described as despicable.<br />

As Bruce Tweedy, who features in our article says: “I can’t<br />

fathom why somebody would do it.”<br />

The plaques would have been taken to sell as scrap metal,<br />

so let’s hope where ever they turn up the scrap yard has some<br />

record of who brought them in for sale.<br />

Punishment: <strong>May</strong>be use the low lifes for Springston and Lincoln<br />

rugby tackling practice. Bring back the stiff arm head high<br />

to show younger players what they were once like, I say,<br />

They’d run a mile.<br />
