According to this ABC story the National Police Memorial has had all 9 flags (the Australian flag plus the flag for each state/territory police force plus the AFP flag) pinched sometime between 11am and 12.30 on Friday.

Given the amount of traffic, both foot in Kings park, particularly all those Russell staff going for jogs during their lunch breaks, and vehicular along Kings ave/Parkes way surely someone saw something.

And any guesses to the motivation for such a brazen daylight robbery? A flag collector (those things aren’t cheap) or someone wishing to piss of the police?

More gutless wankers who would never have the brains or courage to sign up for what the cops have to do.
I hope they find the cowards – and line them up for the severe finger waggling that only the ACT judiciary can dish out.

When pigs fly, pigs flags fly.

Let’s face it, chuck a bright fluoro vest on and just get into it. You’ll like any workie out there, who is going to ask?

My guess is drunken christmas party dare.

Actually I think they were stolen Thursday. The ABC story makes mention of them being stolen ‘yesterday’, and it was published on Friday.

Too late in the year for scavenger hunts?

My guess is to piss the Police off.

There truly are some wankers around.
