Wee theft gives tiny island a mini crisis

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.
