Even Bono’s old hand-me-downs may not be safe from charity thieves

BONO, it seems, has finally found what he was looking for — an old cowboy hat, a sweatshirt, a pair of old trousers and earrings.

There was also a video tape and monitor, rosary beads, hundreds of photographs, a few mugs and what was described as a ‘Christmas decoration’.

I leave it to your own imagination as to why the rosary beads was on the Joshua Tree tour, but even as a fashion illiterate it seems to me unlikely that a pair of metal hooped earrings, a green sweatshirt and a pair of black trousers would actually go with a Stetson.
