Gunther and Christof, our policemen, would feel at home in the Scilly Isles. The Scilly Isles police, whose recent operations have included containing a stray seal, pacifying two drunken chefs rowing about the merits of sea salt and investigating a short sighted horse suspected of damaging cars, are currently busy with an investigation into a bogus parking ticket placed on a buggy. Gunther and Christof test the children on their cycling proficiency and might set a speed trap if the weather is pleasant. This week Justine's bike went missing. After a fruitless search it was reported stolen, whereupon our policeman admitted he had accidentally borrowed it and then, after a big night out, couldn't recognise it again. It was located, duly returned and the case was closed. A successful open and shut case for the Maria Alm police force.
