    I am told that too many stolen goods eventually turn up in car boot sales.

    The Forum on Spirituality has been closed for years. Please bring it back, there are lots of Spiritual people in Ireland and elsewhere.

    Did you confront the seller?

    No, figured I get no joy anyway because I don't think he was the lad that did the deed, more than likely he bought it from someone else, he is a 'regular' with an indoor stall....plus I'd be probably asked to prove if it was mine or sling my hook.

    If it was a high value item I would raise a ruckus, my bad for leaving it in an unsecured shed. Did not like the idea of someone prowling around when no-one is at home, so everything is under lock and key now.

    Whatever about old dears selling a few toys and crockery...I would be wondering about the origins of the large numbers of second hand power tools fellas with large vans would be selling....lots of things tend to go 'missing' on construction sites.

    Was in Fethard Sunday,big market but a lot of it has been taken over by tat stalls selling euro store style kids toys type stuff.


    Dundrum has closed down now at least 3 weeks ago.
