Letter: Making a buzz about Bumblebee
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: Mary Dejevsky suggests that the Operation Bumblebee Roadshow could be sponsored by, say, an alarms company. Surely it would be more appropriate for an insurance company or an insurance industry association to fund these events?
The insurance companies would benefit by being able to reduce pay-outs for those instances where stolen goods had been returned to their legal owner, the police could demonstrate their value and all the insured could expect a reduction in their premiums.
Yours sincerely,
