Mr Damian and Interpol today announce a reward of $1 million for the identification of Gideon, a self proclaimed Christian evangelist who preys on tired and weary travellers by putting Bibles in their hotel drawers.

Little is known about this mystery man, whose calling card is known the world over. Fans claim he is simply 'distributing the Bible in the human traffic lanes and streams of everyday life' - but to his critics the man is dangerous, not least because of his Santa Claus like ability to slip into buildings seemingly unnoticed.

Fluffy
'Putting Bibles in drawers is one thing, stealing toiletries and white fluffy towels is another,' said one hotelier. 'He doesn't actually do this, but he could, and that's the worry,' he added.

Move over Bin Laden

Law enforcement agencies are equally worried that Gideon will inspire copycat criminals. In Canada, the Days Inn motel chain, has been plagued by 'Andy' an equally faceless burglar who leaves copies of The Lord of the Rings in hotel rooms with a card which menacingly states: 'Read it, it's better than the films.'

Ring Ring Ring
So if you know Gideon, then call us now on 1-800-GIDEON. And help us to put this Bible-thumping where he belongs.

Is Gideon actually the ghost of a dead child?
