Cupcake vicar?

Cupcakes are being offered as a reward for the safe return of a stolen award-winning scarecrow of a nun.
The "Cupcake, Vicar?" scarecrow, or "Sister Mary", won second prize in the scarecrow contest held in Caythorpe, Nottinghamshire, on Saturday.
Creator Julia Cons said the scarecrow had attracted a lot of attention and "caused a great mirth" since the event.
She said Sister Mary had been last seen with her feet poking out of the back of a car.
It is believed the scarecrow was taken from outside Ms Cons' house on Monday night.
"She caused great mirth among unsuspecting passers-by who tended to stop and come back for a second look," said Ms Cons.
"I couldn't believe somebody has stolen her but I'm trying to keep some perspective on it.
"She's been a bit of entertainment in the village and they [the culprits] have spoilt that and ruined it for other people."
