Wander around with your kecks off for a few minutes and look what happens:

Why would a commissioner think this would dissuade people from visiting Laxey in future? Does he think anyone else would be this stupid? Iphone, keys and wallet left in an abandoned pair of pants on a beach and he's surprised they got nicked!

[Terminal]

Sounds like he was caught with his pants down.

[In fact . . .]

He's not a commissioner. He's the clerk - a paid official.

[Shake me up Judy]

A likely story. I wonder if there was a lady involved ?

If I was daft enough to leave valuables lying around, first of all I wouldn't be surprised if they weren't there when I got back, and second I don't think I would be broadcasting my error on Manx Radio!

It says trousers in the report

[hagar the horrible]

The only valuables I keep in my trousers are the family jewels.

What are disguarded pants?

[Stu Peters]

Ones that haven't been treated with Scotchgard^TM

What are disguarded pants?

 

Pants which are being ignored ?

[John Wright]

That would be disregarded.

The one and only paid official. No empire building in the small authorities.

Could the pants have been discarded, or does he mean unguarded ? I rather like the thought and image of the pants being unguarded. But then this suggests that they might even be indiscreet. Either way, it's all pants....

Chap down Port Erin has just retired from his empire and his commissioners and his ratepayers.

It's very easy for us to say he got what he was asking for, but in reality why shouldn't he be able to leave his trolleys unattended? Why shouldn't he be able to leave his car keys in the car and why shouldn't he be able to leave his back door unlocked (no innuendo intended btw).

 

This sounds like a more than opportunist theft. I mean if I found a pair of apparently discarded pants on a beach, I'd be reluctant to touch them until I was sure why they were where they were. Someone may have had an "accident" for example. This sounds like he was being watched.
