A report came through our news wire this morning about a man in the UK who single handily broke open a case involving a notorious toaster thief:“Mr Bradley heard a noise on the ground floor and on hearing a second noise went to investigate and found the defendant in the kitchen holding a toaster. He pushed the toaster towards Mr Bradley, there was a brief struggle and Mr Bradley was able to push the defendant out.
“He gave chase, the defendant swung the toaster at Mr Bradley and Mr Bradley punched the defendant.
“He returned home with the toaster and checked on his family.”
So...what's the motivation here? I can only imagine that the appliance in question must have been a Pearl Metallic Toaster from a top vendor like Tfal or perhaps a Cuisinart Classic White Toaster (both found on GlobalToaster).
The perpetrator in this case tried to use his heroin addiction as an excuse for the crime....perfectly plausible if you ask me, althought apparently the judge was unsympathetic...
Not having had much experience with heroin myself, I do understand weakness and addiction when it comes to a warm crispy slice of buttered bread. I fortunately have the willpower to live within the standards of society.
What's never really been tested is my courage. Will I have the strength of character that Mr. Bradley did? I guess we never know until we are tested.
But, if I had an award for "Defender of the Two Slice Toaster", no question who deserves this honor today: Congratulations Mr. Bradley!
