Most people will know that a scarecrow at the bottom of Harptree Hill was stolen on the Wednesday night before the Bank Holiday. It was seen the following night, so had the missing 'crow been returned? No! Mr Daly, the scarecrow maker, decided that he would try to give the thieves an enormous shock if they returned. With a blackened streaky face and dressed as a scarecrow, he sat motionless from 10.30pm till midnight in the same place . They didn't come back.

In Gosfield, Essex a tin man scarecrow made from car components went missing. He was taken to Australia and was photographed at Ayers Rock. His owners received a ransom note for £1 million and when they didn’t pay they were set a severed finger (spark plug) in the post.
