Theft of Froggie the Super Frog has locals hopping mad

DEAR News Of The Area,

SAD to say, I’m losing my faith in humanity.

Locals at Spooney’s Beach at Bonny Hills take great pleasure and pride in their beach, including the “shrine”, a rock cave we like to decorate.

Our first attempt, a Baby Buddha, was stolen after only a week.

It was replaced with ‘Surfer Frog’, much loved by all.

Froggie went missing on the weekend, obviously taken by some lowlife with no respect for other people’s property.

If you are a local, please return Froggie.

If you are a visitor, please don’t come back to this area if you have no respect for this lovely piece of paradise.

PS –  Please return Froggie before you go.

Regards,

Ross Foggon,

Lake Cathie/Bonny Hills.
