Bloc Party block thief!

Distraught Bloc Party fans were comforted with a private performance by the band after a thief stole over 30 mobile phones at a gig last night.

The thief, who was wearing a wig, stole the phones from unsuspecting fans as they watched the band in Reading.

Luckily, police caught the man and returned the phones.

Bloc Party then invited the remaining fans backstage where the band were celebrating being number one in the midweek album charts with 'A Weekend In The City'.
