LORD ASHCROFT OFFERS REWARD FOR RETURN OF STOLEN VICTORIA CROSSES

Jim Duncan of New Zealand writes: "Lord Ashcroft has very
kindly put up NZ$200,000 as a reward for the return of the
New Zealand medals.   Our Prime Minister is a little concerned
that offers of big money may suggest 'copy cat' robberies with
a view to a fat reward in the future.

"But I think in this case we need some inducement for return.
I think we are all smarting from the humiliation at this time."
