Completed the grid, found the stolen object, know who the thief is and have found the location where it was found. However, I can't see the location on the grid where I have to return the object to. Any gentle hints appreciated. Thanks!

Granama, I returned it to the void (created from the ignored letters) as that helped with the thief...

Ah. Thanks Malone, I'd spotted that most of the thief was there but was looking to move the thing out to another place in the grid rather than move something back into the void. I'll have another Paddington hard stare at the grid!

Granama, my answer could well be wrong - that's happened before! We were told to return it 'to its original place', that was my reasoning.

Having found and returned the subject to the void I'm sure you are absolutely spot on Malone. Thankyou.
Thoroughly enjoyed the puzzle and ended with only one ? re parsing for 8d. I know Pointer is the compiler....ah the penny has dropped. Funny how that happens. Now for the Listener *shudder*

Glad my little bit of help worked, Granama1.

Yes, this was a thoroughly enjoyable puzzle - and I even started a thread to say so. You and I must have been typing at the same time, the posts came in together.

One letter to go, last one in 33 down! Any pointers please?

Rodders, you may be reminded of the last letter if you watch the rugby this afternoon....particularly during the conversions (:o)

Hi Malone,

I've just returned with The i and had a quick look at the Inquisitor (TV Licences for the Poor). and will have a go at it later - I'll be back!

Brendan,

Thanks. I'm sure you'll enjoy today's puzzle. I gave you a mention on the Inquisitor thread I started earlier!
