Teenager arrested over Fife church bell theft – The bell went missing from St Patrick’s Roman Catholic Church in Lochgelly
I’m putting this one on because frankly I’m bloomin’ amazed. How on earth do you go about quietly and sneakily nicking a whopping church bell? I’m assuming that this church bell was mounted high in a bell tower on top of the church, if so, that really takes some doing.

I’m from Lochgelly and passed this church everyday, the bell had been lying on the ground for well over a year, so I am surprised it took this long before it was nicked.
Although the bell was still quite large and looked very heavy (good scrappage prices) so their must have been more people involved, no way would one 18 year old have been able to move the bell so far
