Somewhat interesting that thieves now know that miner's safety lamps are worth stealing!
All of us who have any, better just take suitable precautions!

I hope the rightful owner is quickly reunited with their lamp.

Maybe worth asking the police to keep an eye open as there's still an entire coal industry missing..... :confused:

Perhaps the guy that nicked it was a collector. After all its one of the more desirable ones to have if you collect lamps. 🙂
