Hark: "A man accused of stealing a Shakespeare folio valued at £3m arrived for a court appearance in a horse-drawn carriage."


"Raymond Scott, 52, of Wingate, County Durham, was dressed in Highland tartan and was accompanied by a bagpipe player at Durham Crown Court on Friday."

You have to love the UK. Not only do their judges wear those adorable Britney Spears wigs, but how many American courts would allow a bagpipe player to play entrance music for a man accused of grand larceny.


Unless the presiding judge was Vince McMahon.

A trumpet fanfare? Maybe.

This guy is a real mastermind, by the way. He steals a unique historical treasure in the UK, then shows up in the USA and tells some scholars that he found it. Don't look for Tom Hanks or Nic Cage in his biopic.
