Thieves Steam Off With Thomas the Tank Engine 
LONDON (Reuters) - Staff at a leisure park watched when several men loaded a 
four-ton railway engine on to a truck, thinking it was being taken away for 
maintenance. 

They even waved goodbye to the men and the engine a replica of the children's 
storybook character, Thomas the Tank Engine. 

Later it dawned on the staff that they had been the victims of a robbery. 

``I cannot believe the nerve of these people,'' James Warnock manager of 
Crossford Country Park near Lanark in Scotland, told the Times newspaper 
Tuesday. 

``They must have stolen it to order because it is specially designed for 
taking children around this park.'' 

The 15,000 pound ($24,570) engine was uninsured.
