I BOUGHT a small magazine, The Dalesman, at my local Sainsbury last week. Looking through it when I got home, I found that page 80 had been ripped out.

I discovered later that this page had a free entry token to win a pair of boots in a competition.

If the sneaky thief is reading this, I hope he or she won the boots.

But I wouldn’t mind betting that they nicked a copy of the newspaper to read this anyway.
