A huge sticky-note row has erupted over the theft of a cheesake in the BBC newsroom.

A kind samaritan then came along and replaced the cheesecake with a brand new one.

Alas, the plot thickens! For not one cheesecake was stolen, but two.

The case hitherto remains unsolved. And it sounds as if it might be about to get even more out of hand…
Still no justice though. It's not about the cheesecake any more. That ship has sailed. It's about retribution.
