Offence 


 

 

Defendant is charged with the theft of an ice-cream from the hand of an individual on the 5th August 2022. Alleged crime occurred on the Largs seafront in full view of several witnesses, who were able to identify Mr C Gull as the perpetrator of the crime. 





 

 The victim had recently purchased a two scoop ice-cream cone from the Nardini Ice-Cream parlour. Victim was about to take his first lick of said ice-cream, when Mr Gull swooped down from his perch on the nearby lamppost and knocked the ice-cream from the victim's hand. Mr Gull then proceeded to consume the ice-cream cone now lying on the Promenade, leaving the two scoops of ice-cream to melt in the sun.

 

 


 

 

Previous reports (see Booking Reports 250421IC, 310522IC, 160722IC) highlight the serial nature of Mr Gull's offenses. Mr Gull has also been reported (Booking Reports 230621CH, 010722CH, 290722CH) for serial thefts of chips from individuals on the Promenade enjoying fish and chips with a sea view.

    1. Thanks Debbi, those seagulls swoop away with your ice-cream in seconds and descend in hordes when anyone is rash enough to toss them a chip!

  2. That's hilarious - C Gull has developed a very effective sneak attack. Love the wanted poster look!

    1. Thanks Ruth, they are so sneaky, you just hear the swoosh of the wings at the last moment and then your ice-cream disappears! Our son was particularly annoyed as he had treated everyone to an ice-cream and ended up with nothing :(

  3. Oh my goodness - what a great post. All it needed was background music, but I could hear it well enough! I'll head to your blog to read more!

    1. Oh Wendy! Background music would have been a great addition :) You will see from the post title on my blog I even have a theme tune in mind!

  4. I love the format of this post so much! The file names, the photo of the location ... who else would think of commemorating a thieving sea gull with a quilted mug shot! The ice cream parlor should post this as a warning to other customers. :)

    1. Thanks Gwen, I had a lot of fun writing this post :) There are signs all along the Prom asking people not to feed the seagulls but of course the seagulls don't pay any attention to those!

  6. This is a wonderful post, Fiona, and a great quilt. Mr C Gull really is a villian. He has relations living near us!

  7. I do love a good story to go with a quilt :-). Making your portrait a mug shot was such a great idea, and your choice of criminal is inspired!
