"Three months on, and with no arrests or charges in the case, the main opposition People's National Party have suggested that some people now think there has been a cover up"..............................................: doh:

If it's a comodity, it's bound to be stolen.

How can you steal 500 truck loads worth of sand without anyone noticing anything?

They're just going to have to start nailing that crap down then !

Or maybe putting some of those anti-theft tags on them.

Yep, that's the ticket. RFID tags in every grain of sandI noticed in the article that they have forensic scientists checking other beaches to see if any of the sand is being used. I never knew that sand had DNA:hmm:

I did hear of someone being charged with stealing a railway station once, but a beach is new to me!

I was born in andraised aorund Blackpool and the beach had signs saying it was illegal to remove sand from the beach. I spent a very long time shaking it out of my shoes before I left the beach
