Crime tip: Avoid 300 pound dogs

Of all the gardens in all the world, the thief had the bad luck to break into the one where Cromwell was peacefully gnawing on his bone. The three-year-old English mastiff is a gentle pet. But his breed are also born guard dogs – and big ones at that.

Only the thief and Cromwell know exactly what happened next. But it can’t have been friendly, as the dog’s owner heard a ‘scream, a roar and a commotion’ from the back garden.

George Watson, 43, had been having a bath and ran outside in his towel, to see the thief zooming off down the driveway in his van.

Apart from a very agitated dog, the only evidence the man left behind was the torn Tshirt.
