Local lunacy

Unlike most other cartoonists, I don't only get to draw national stories.  This is a very local story where a branch office of the municipality was burgled one night and a computer, perfume, clothing and some biscuits were stolen. Obviously stuff lying around the office. Well, according to the report, the staff were so traumatised by this turn of events that the office has been closed for over two weeks with no opening date in sight. Forget about inconvenienced customers, the "servants of the public" are happy to stay at home to get over their trauma, on full pay no doubt.  A small example of our wonderful local government service.
