"you can guarantee that there are 50 guitars currently on sale in Edinburgh shops that nobody could tell apart from this stolen one"

Wow, so there are 50 Fender Stratocaster Deluxe in Butterscotch cream for sale in Edinburgh, now that is a shock.

I always though the Butterscotch Blonde Strat wasn't that common.
Thanks for the heads up Jack, please supply addresses, I will get up tomorrow.
