PONTEFRACT & KNOTTINGLEY DIGEST MAGAZINES STOLEN

ADDED 03 JULY 2006

At around lunchtime on Monday 3rd July 2006, a sizeable quantity of Pontefract Digest magazines, issue 17, July 2006, and a small quantity of Knottingley Digest magazines, issue 35, July 2006, are believed to have been stolen from the Limetree Avenue / Love Lane area of Pontefract.

Please may I remind everyone that the Digest magazines are available only from selected stores in and around Pontefract and Knottingley or directly from Maurice Haigh or myself, either through one of my associated websites or by mail order.

If you are offered any copies of the July 2006 Pontefract or Knottingley Digest magazines from any other source whatsoever, please be aware that they could be stolen copies and I would appreciate any information regarding the source.

No-one other than one of my authorised distributors (shops and newsagents in and around Pontefract and Knottingley), Maurice Haigh or myself has any authority to sell or distribute copies of the Digest magazines. If you have any copies of the July 2006 Digest magazines that were not purchased from one of the above three sources then the chances are you have a stolen copy.

Today, unfortunately, these things happen only too often and we simply have to live with it and accept. All I can ask is that if you are offered what you believe might be a stolen copy that you decline the offer. Not only do I have to personally meet the costs involved in the loss itself but anyone who purchases a stolen copy is also depriving the Digest of an additional 'legal' sale - in effect increasing the loss twofold.

At £1.00 per copy the Digest offers wonderful value for money. Is it really worth it to save a few pence by knowingly purchasing a copy from an illegal source? The facts are that by doing so you will most likely be sponsoring or encouraging further illegal activities, drug or other substance abuse and that just seems to go against everything the Digest is about.

If you do have any information concerning the theft of these magazines then please contact me.

Webmaster and Editor of the Digest magazines.
