This story came from a newspaper in Grantham, on 30 September 2010:

“A FORMER drug addict pleaded guilty at Grantham Magistrates’ Court to  stealing a bicycle.

The owner of the bike discovered it in a second-hand shop in Grantham three days after it was stolen from a friend’s house in Stamford Street. He called the police and the shop owner told officers the seller was Julie Kavanagh, 38, of Riverside, Grantham. Kavanagh claimed she found the bike abandoned in Trent Road before selling it for £20.

She was granted nine months’ conditional discharge to run concurrently with a previous sentence and told to pay £85 costs.”
