World famous in Greymouth?

Sherlock Homes FTW
Wow, is all I can say… I’ve had half a dozen emails from people wanting to buy the footage, 50 odd from people wanting to put banners on this website, several hundred from people saying “I hope you get the guy!” and 1 from someone saying “It’s your own fault it got stolen” – I guess you can’t win them all.
Today I was front page in our local paper, dressed like Sherlock Holmes, magnifying glass and all, posing as if I was checking for evidence. I was under the impression that it was going to be like a mid section article, in black and white, not full colour, on the front page, but hey, the more exposure this thing gets, the more likely we are to catch the guy, so I’ll take one for the team. I also had a phone interview with The Press, one of New Zealand’s most distributed news papers. Bring on the 6:00pm news!
