The only daring raids on the craggy Scottish island of Canna are usually perpetrated by its 20000 seabirds, which dive low over the water to snatch their supper. Now the population of just 19 adults and four children has been targeted by a swoop of a rather different kind, after a thief made off with £200 (about R4000) of goods from the village shop, including six bobble hats, in the island's first burglary for 50 years.The esoteric haul, which included biscuits, batteries and toiletries but not money, was taken overnight from the only shop on the island, which is owned by the National Trust for Scotland.The shop is often left open overnight to allow sailors and fishermen to use the internet facilities and make themselves a cup of tea.Visitors can purchase goods at any time, making a note of what they have taken and leaving their payment in an honesty box.Islanders said there had been no thefts since the 1960s, when a carved wooden plate was stolen from the church.Bill Clark, the island's councillor, blamed the theft on tourists, but the police have not ruled out islanders.Either way, the culprit could hardly have made a speedy exit. There are no flights to the island, while the ferry to the mainland takes nearly three hours and sails only twice a week.Julie McCabe, who runs the shop, said she was "absolutely floored" by the robbery."We are thinking about putting CCTV in, but that goes against the honesty idea. When you live on a small island like this you have to trust your neighbour and everybody round about," she said. ..
