Fans at Bloc Party's gig at the Reading Hexagon were jacked en masse last night, when one man stole over 30 mobile phones.
And, what's that... he was wearing a wig? Yeah, the thief was wearing a wig.
This bizarre, if admittedly daring, act of thievery was foiled however, when the venue's security were inundated with reports of stolen mobiles. The police were called and the phones recovered.
The fans were asked to remain after the show, when the police returned their phones and the band invited them all backstage for a big party. So it all came up roses then. And was the thief thanked for his part in this? I very much doubt it.
