Sofa stolen from Queens Terrace returned to owners…before heartless thieves nick it again

The house of girls whose sofa was stolen from the front of their Queens Terrace house were left delighted when their sofa magically reappeared on Friday. 

But now, in a devastating turn of events, heartless thieves have stolen the plush leather sofa again, leaving house of  girls heartbroken.

Returned!

In its rightful place

It was once the biggest waterproof male magnet in Jesmond, an alfresco couch to sit with an alcoholic beverage in hand scouting the local talent like the “Britain’s Got Talent” judging panel.

But last Saturday, a team of strong thieves nabbed the three-seater while the girls were watching X Factor.

And they were spotted running Devonshire with the sofa high above their heads, chanting like they’d just won the World Cup.

And the incident has left the girls shaken. One of the victims told The Tab: “After all eight of us girls spent a fair few hours carrying three sofas from Cavendish to our new home on Queens Terrace (one house mate has been experiencing quite severe back pains since), we had to place one outside because it did not fit through the front door.”

“Quite a few memories have been made on that sofa few evenings listening to tunes and “popping bottles” until it got tragically stolen from our front door last Saturday leaving us heartbroken.”

“We should have perhaps put the sofa inside after we had two rather dodgy looking local men banging down the door asking if they could have the sofa, which we politely declined.

“Little did we know they planned to return later that week with eight more friends not willing to take no for an answer.”

Like we always do it this time…

The good old days

Another house mate Annabelle said: “At about midnight on Thursday, the boys made their first attempt at taking our sofa, however, this time they offered money (which I declined).

“On Saturday night, I was just getting comfy in front of the X-Factor when I saw a shadow come up against our living room window.

“By the time I had got outside to see what was going on I saw the culprits running down Devonshire with the sofa high above their heads chanting like they’d just won the World Cup”.

This bizarre event has left those involved rather shaken. One of the girls said: “In the future, we will be locking up our replacement sofa at night”.

If the culprits are reading this – PLEASE RETURN OUR SOFA.
