I popped into my newsagents today for my Beano and found it wasn't there. I asked the owner: APPARENTLY, the truck's been stolen. Basically, Beano is transported to the North of England via arctic lorry while the south get theirs by train. The driver went to get a drink or something, they come out...The lorry isn't there. Currently someone is driving around a DC Thomson Lorry full of Beanos, Dandys, Sunday Posts, etc....  Bad news for DC Thomson! Anyone else heard similar? She was pretty serious about it and quite annoyed...  |

If you're up North it looks pretty useless trying!  I mean...can they realistically re-run it when it was printed like, six weeks in advance? Surely it'd muck up the entire schedule? |

I've got my comic today....I suppose they found it or sent another delivery.  Got the little note about no free gift again though. XD |

No way! I can't believe that someone nicked the lorry! Why wasn't this on the news? That thief must have either been a massive fan of Derek the Sheep or very silly.
"Aw, man! This truck's full of stupid childrens' comics, not money! Not again! This is like the fifth time something like this has happened! I guess I better give up this life of crime and get a real job, then..."

Got the little note about no free gift again though. XD You have a history of receiving Beanos with their free gifts missing? |

Yeah, I've had numerous issues where they've sent 'a different great gift!'..Can be quite annoying sometimes  |

They always have those in airports when it's a gift issue. Normally you get sweets instead! |

I got a Beano with its lolly missing once when I ordered it from my newsagent. He said it arrived like that. I wouldn't have minded as much if it hadn't taken a section of the front cover with it.
