Thieves stole two valueless warthog tusks from a Pocklington museum after failing to get their hands on a rhino horn./facepalm
A warthog
A rhino
*sigh* Only in Hull....
Oh! Wait a minute!
Burnby hall has an advanced CCTV system, and the museum's management were able to give very clear images of the pair to the police. One man also left a handprint on a glass cabinet.
Mr Geekie said: "The police identified one of these guys immediately.
"He was from Essex, but he's no longer at his previous address."/doublefacepalm
Comments are enthralling...

Why does this not surprise me?
On the serious side. Rhino & Elephant tusks are worth more than gold, drugs or diamonds on the black market, which is tragic.
Warthog horn! No wonder the bloody stuff didn't work, I've been had!
Mind you I'm eating twice as much as usual!
XX Mr Geekie XX Museum director.... ??WTF??!!
Na. I ain't saying NOTHING.
The Daily Mail have denied that any of their reporters were involved
WTF bother?
The Chinese fake everything else, so ground cow horn or (say) antler should be trivial.
I can't believe they are so stupid as to be honest about this rip-off...

Yup, there's been a lot of thefts recently, and even some zoos have seen fit to increase security.

:D

Who'd know?
"He was from Essex"
not by any chance from the non-settled community?
