You may remember the earth shattering news that greeted the readers of La Provence a month ago - a new speed camera had been installed on the route de Sarrians outside Monteux.
Great journalists are blessed with a sixth sense as to what makes a newsworthy story. You and I might scoff at such a front page but the editor cleatly knew that he had a story that would run and run.
This week in the depths of the night somebody stole the Monteux speedcamera, there was of course outrage and another story meaning that the speedcamera has now had more column inches devoted to it in the local papers than Marion Cotillard the first French actress to win the best actress oscar since Simone Signoret in 1960. In the face of the breaking speed camera news Marion was relegated to page 38.
