But as you've broken our two year old granddaughter's heart by STEALING her first bike ... a RED BALANCER BIKE ... the ultimate crime has been committed and when we catch up with you her three uncles want to practise a little sharia law. Two thefts ... two hands !!
Though it's doubtful you'll read this (or can read at all), be aware that someone will and retribution shall be ours.

The incident occurred at Erawan Thai Restaurant at the intersection of Shirley and Hills Roads around 6:45pm last night. A man entered the store with a knife and demanded money from staff members. Staff and guests ran from the restaurant out a side door and were uninjured in the incident. Police are ensuring the victims are supported.
The man has proceeded to take a significant amount of cash from the till and run from the restaurant down Shirley Road towards New Brighton.
People can contact Canterbury Police on 03 363 7400, or call Crimestoppers anonymously via 0800 555 111.
