By the way - Robbie Coltrane is NOT the burglar!

In one of the most bizarre stories of the year; it emerged today that New Zealand coppers, prohibited by some stupid liberal law, are not allowed to show the face of a 16 year old burglar on wanted posters. Instead they showed the picture of someone who apparently is a dead ringer for him albiet a few years older and without the teen's mop of greasy hair: The multi-BAFTA award winning actor Robbie Coltrane!!!

I love the part where they say: "Robbie Coltrane is not the burglar."

    BUT . . . what if it's all a ruse, and Robbie Coltrane IS the burglar? Hey, even Lex Luthor had to start somewhere.
