Ratman And Bobbin

According to the locals it all started when the massive automobile, resembling Batman’s Batmobile, stopped in front if a cupcake warehouse in Malaysia. It was driven by somebody who looked like a lighter version of Batman and the only passenger resembled a broader Robin.

When a local police officer on his rounds demanded to know who they were and why they were masked, the one who resembled Batman replied that they were Ratman and Bobbin, rehearsing for the masquerade ball later that evening in the City Hall.

Satisfied that he had done his job, the police officer proceeded on his beat and that is when the carnage began.

Eyewitnesses declared that he had barely been out of sight when the two masked villains rammed the warehouse doors and started loading the boxes of cupcakes into the large boot of the car. One of the eye witnesses reported that the car had an amazing boot; almost like the pockets of the hero in an adventure game. You can keep on putting things in and it never gets full.

Just as the car left the warehouse the cavalry arrived in the form of four police cars but after a wild chase through the streets of the Malaysian capital, the Ratmobile sprouted wings and simply took off. A bewildered bystander said as the car lifted into the air, it backfired with a funny noise sounding like ‘chitty chitty bang bang’.

The Malaysian head of state declared a day of mourning and proclaimed that all flags will fly half mast for the next seven days. He promised that everything will be done to apprehend the culprits and to restore the pride of the nation.

The case took an interesting turn when a petrol attendant in Tokyo reported a strange looking automobile wanting to fill up with aviation fuel and when failing to get any, the masked driver asked for directions to the nearest aerodrome. This morning the commander of a nearby air force base reported the mysterious disappearance of all the aviation fuel stored at his base.

Inspector Car from Scotland Yard, on loan to Interpol, who was assigned to investigate this caper, said at a press conference that it is not sure yet if the three incidents are related. He denied the possibility of it being the same thugs as before because the previous time the thieves were disguised as Santa and a helper; this pair impersonated Batman and Robin; a vast difference in the modus operandi.

He also said that the name of the Warehouse owner is being withheld until her Arty could be located and informed of her woes. He asked people with information to come forward if it can help to solve this crime and warned people not to approach these villains as they could be dangerous.

A spokesman for Lloyd's said that they are investigating the possibility of an insurance scam as this warehouse had been raided so many times in the past and the culprits had never been caught. He added that they suspect that the owner is in cahoots with the thieves and that they find it very suspicious that the said owner had recently doubled the insured amount of her warehouse.

And NASA reported tracking an unidentified flying object across Japan, moving at a high speed in an easterly direction to where it briefly landed in the USA before proceeding in a south easterly direction towards South Africa. They lost the object in dense fog somewhere near Cape Town and all efforts to relocate it had failed so far.

Meanwhile in Paris, Madame Marie Antoinette, the CEO of the “Nourriture pour l'Afrique” (Food For Africa) Project said this caper came at a very bad time as the cupcakes were destined for Africa as there was not enough bread to go around.

And before you even look at me, I had nothing to do with it.


NB
I know that I’m not supposed to sell anything on this site but I’d like to mention that we have a very large quantity of cupcakes for sale at rock bottom prices.
