The small red Victorian postbox was stolen from the junction of Rugby Road and St Michaels Close some time between 4pm on Wednesday October 17 and 4pm on Thursday October 18.

Villagers suspect it was stolen to be sold as scrap metal and elderly residents have been left without a way of posting their letters.
