"Listening to the news," said Harry in a resigned voice.<br />
His aunt and uncle exchanged looks of outrage.<br />
"Listening to the news! Again?"<br />
"Well, it changes every day, you see," said Harry.” "<br />

AU $15000 of LEGO being stolen? Judging from the latest set prices I've been putting in, that's what, 11? 12? US Dollars? Oh no, someone stole a single Star Wars Battle Pack. :P
