Bless their little cotton socks
THIEVES have hot-footed it with 50,000 odd socks, police said yesterday. A Suffolk Police spokesman said that 25,000 pairs of non-matching socks in 50 boxes, including many designed as a policeman and a robber, were taken from an Ipswich lorry park during a raid.
The socks had been destined for Woolworth stores throughout the country. They were due to be part of a promotion this Christmas for the children's book series, The Oddies, which is based on the question: "Where do all the missing odd socks go?"
Other sock characters include a ballerina, footballer and nurse. Police are appealing for help in finding the unusual pairs, which are sized to fit three to seven-year-olds.
