"From your drawing, and using my own powers of deduction, I can tell that the thief was in fact a one legged man with a fake shoe attachment fitted to his peg-leg, just to fool us! His name is 'Peg-Leg Pete', has a wife and three children, and he comes from Birkenhead. "

Very funny captions! :lol: Lots of them made me chuckle, but the stand-out one for me was KEVP's because the "footprints" really do remind me so much of the Barbapapa cartoon:

Thank you for the sketch of the suspects, son. So basically we should be on the lookout for Barbapapa and Barbamama . . .
Well done, KEVP, and over to you!

The easiest way is to choose one from The Cave, copy the 'image address', and post it using the 'Img' tab on the message page...though there are other ways too!

If you need any further help just let us know, KEVP - or send me a PM.

If the picture isn't taken from the Cave of Books, you need to upload your image to a hosting site like Photobucket and then paste the image tags into your post.
