An eggy story for Pancake Day

Egg theft is a heinous crime, but it has taken a new twist recently with the theft of around 60 dozen hens' eggs from a farm in Angus. Now, either the thieves don't realise that egg collectors are not interested in the eggs of the farmyard hen, or they have decided to replace their meat intake with eggs in the wake of the horsemeat scandal, or they are aiming for a place in the Guinness book of records for the largest omelette, or they are planning to stockpile their haul until the next election comes around, or they are holding an enormous pancake party tonight. Whatever the reason, if someone offers you half-a-dozen pre-scrambled eggs that have fallen off the back of a lorry, just say no. And if you happen to see any suspicious characters with egg on their faces, Tayside Police would like to hear from you.
