A Shire horse is recorded as frequently stealing a haddock from the slab of a fishmonger near his stable and munching it with every sign of satisfaction. A gilt eagle weighing 5501 h. has been stolen from the top of a monument at Sarrenbourg (Moselle) to French and German soldiers who fell in the war of 1870-71. The eagle, which was made of cast iron, is thought to have been stolen on behalf of a collector of souvenirs.
