May I use the goodwill demonstrated in this post to confess to a crime I committed against ITCF?

In 1972, I was a guest at the police HQ in Ipswich, as a consequence of accompanying my dad who was playing bowls for the Met police against Suffolk police. The room we were in was fairly high-rise and you could see the Portman Road ground from it.

After suffering the disappointment of watching Dave Bedford being run out of the medals in one of his two Olympic finals (I think it was the 10,000m), I decided to go for a stroll, and being fascinated by all things football, I made my way to the stadium. There was something compelling about a closed, quiet football ground, as I had never seen one before.

Anyway (long story short), I managed to peel away (ie "steal" ) a 'Forthcoming Fixtures' poster that was on display at one of the turnstiles. I folded it up and took it back with me to the police HQ - completely missing the irony of entering such a building while in possession of contraband. On being quizzed by my mum, I lied that I had found it lying in the ground, and although she told me off for picking something up off the street ("you don't know where it's been etc" ) she let me keep it. It then ended up on my bedroom wall alongside other many football-related items.

My conscience is now clear!
