Well it's "missus" and "shuttlecock", but even so this is a good story. That the 13 year olds would think about calling the police over a shuttlecock that they had knocked into the next door garden is good enough in itself. That the police would actually investigate it even more classic.
We are told that in Blairs Britain crime has gone down (although violent crime has actually gone up). Well it all makes sense now. The great shuttlecock thieves of our times are obviously going to be shaking in their boots (or is that sneakers). Knowing that the police will respond quickly and unmercilessly to such crimes is enough that no-one will ever deflate a kids ball ever again. Frisbees will be given back without hesitation. Garden sports are safe for the future, forever guarded by the thin blue line.
