back to article Lettuce head e-fit draws a blank

Hampshire Police have not received a single phone call or other lead on the whereabouts of the lettuce-headed burglar, despite his lactucan locks appearing on more media outlets than Paris Hilton's last upskirt shot. Have you seen this salad? Lettuce know if you spot him, Kos Hampshire police have no other Romaining leads …

    I have a few puns...

    But I'll leave this little gem to the great unwashed, assuming, of kos, that they get round to it.

      Subtle

      That might be a touch too subtle for the "vegetables? Is that what's on pizza?" brigade on here!!

    What?

    "Hampshire police released a bizarre image which appeared to be partly made of everyone's least favourite vegetable."

    But it doesn't look very much like a sprout at all?

    "have not received a single phone call"

    Not a single phone call? I doubt that. They're just not counting the ones that are taking the piss.

    Everyone?

    I personally despise aubergines far more than I dislike lettuce.

    Apparently, he was stealing little gems.

    Come on...

    ...it's not that bad for a BBC Model B. I expect they are saving up for the Z80 co-pro. Once they install CP/M they can network with their colleagues in the next village, to catch anyone who, until now, has made their getaway across the parish boundary.

    The felon may not go to prison but he'll suffer when the cabbage whites get to him.

    Doesn't look like Curly Kale

    at all.

    On the other hand I really like lettuce.

    Disguised?

    He was mugged by a gang of slugs and no longer looks like that.

    business opp?

    whoever it is should start selling branded lettuces with his face on à la Paul Newman's spaghetti sauce. he could also branch out into cabbage, broccoli and cauliflower - all of which i think would look great framed around his mug.

    edit: can we get a facepalm logo?

    so I assume his nickname is "carrot-top"

    Grab-n-run

    The lettuce bolted, apparently.

    One should be able to do a good King Louis XIV portrait by changing the green to bright yellow and extending it to go right around the face. A nice beard perhaps.

    Cheers! He'll never get caught.

    Really...

    he does look a bit like Conan O'Brien... wonder if he has an alibi...
