It is not only black swans that have disappeared. Egyptian geese, Eider ducks, Mandarins, Caroline ducks. Whistling ducks, Bar headed geese etc, etc. All with a price on their head. If there was a value on them, the fox had them. No value and they live to a ripe old age.
The law requires that any collection device, ie, tin, glass jar, bucket etc, must be sealed and the container must carry the name, address or charity number. that in part should stop any fiddles.

jj, I bet that not one of the esteemed town councillors, one of which lives not a stones throw from the toilets, has done a blind thing about it?
