"*Please share!* We were absolutely distraught to learn yesterday that two 4 feet tall unique display soft toys have been stolen from our gift shop on the park yesterday at around 2:35pm of the iconic Woody Bear and also Ronnie the Raccoon.
The well known and loved character pieces, made by a company called Lefray especially for the park’s opening back in 1983, are of huge sentimental value to us and to the history of the park, which celebrates its 35th birthday next year.
We have managed to get the registration of the two male offenders who took Woody and Ronnie and the police have been informed. Instead of pursuing the matter legally further however, we would just ask for the safe return of the two characters back to the park and no further action will be taken.
We would appreciate any information of the whereabouts of our beloved mascots, and people can call direct to me on 01502 586000 ext 206 if they can help.
As the East of England’s biggest tourist attraction, these pieces form a big part of our park’s heritage.
Help us to get Woody and Ronnie back to their rightful home!"

Sure but then scumbage who steal stuff are a bit thick in the first place, they're not going to care if there are dog walkers, or anything. i'm surprised they even put them in bin bags.. that was considerate.
However If they had CCTV of them why didn't they release it ? and do scumbags feel guilty enough to return things they've stolen? not really, plus they't not small things you can just sneak in your pocket.. lol weird.
