THE STOLEN STONE

On Christmas Day, the Stone of Destiny was stolen from Westminster Abbey, where it had been for 600 years. The initials JFS were carved on it, possibly meaning Justice for Scotland. The stone was taken through Poets' Corner, and a vehicle likely awaited outside. In Glasgow, opinions varied, with some finding humor in the theft and others lamenting the loss of a symbol of English and British monarchy. A replica of the stone existed in Glasgow, prepared for such an event. The search for the stone was extensive, with rumors suggesting it was dumped in a London serpentine, but only an old safe was found.
