Which items do you think are most often stolen from stores in the UK?
If you guessed DVDs, electronics or smartphones you're wrong, because the things thieves like to steal from stores in the UK tend to be edible.
Bacon, pints of liquor, cheese, champagne and nicotine gum are among the top choices for thieves in the UK, and these items are also the top choice for artist Lucy Sparrow to recreate as felt plushies.
Lucy created a basket full of pilfered goods for her Shoplifting project, which was shown at the Lawrence Alkin Gallery in London last November, and her soft sculpture renditions of these stolen items are priceless.
Hopefully Lucy's plush goods were well guarded because they're so cute I wanna steal 'em all!
