STAGECOACH tycoon Brian Souter has fallen foul of green-fingered thieves at his palatial Strathearn pile.
The bus boss has had a thousand pounds worth of garden ornaments stolen from Ochtertyre House.
The horticultural haul was a trio of frogs, each an incredible three-foot tall, wearing Victorian-style clothing. One of the ornamental amphibians was modelled in a fishing pose, another frog was playing the fiddle and the third had struck a seated position.
The frogs were stolen from the grounds sometime between May 8 and Saturday, June 21.
Anyone who knows where the frogs are now, or has any information relating to their theft, should contact Tayside Police by calling 0845 600 5705.
