Southern 100 rider's stolen equipment returned

An Island racer says he's glad to have an awning back, after it was stolen from the Southern 100 paddock at the weekend.

Paul Cassidy took to Facebook to appeal for its return after it went missing in the early hours of Saturday, July 4.

In a post on Facebook, he says the awning has now been returned and thanked all those who helped reunite him with it.

Paul described himself as "a little disappointed", adding "It's a shame some people need reminding that "borrowing" without asking is still called stealing".
