Posted February 4, 200817 yr Obsessive Elvis Fan and Thief inspires UK TV Drama: http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y48/elvis1959/thief.jpg A new UK TV drama is to tell the story of a real life Elvis fanatic. 'Caught In A Trap' due to be aired at the end of the year, was actually inspired by former North Kesteven District Council employee Julie Wall. She stole more than £500,000 to fund her obsession with The King buying 8,000 Elvis records, CDs, DVDs and signed mementoes - often for a lot more than their market value. Reality TV star Connie Fisher has been cast to play Wall. Business manager Garry Goodge said: "I have never thought of the story as a script or film material but I suppose it is very quirky and a strange thing to happen. "It will highlight the fact that no-one uncovered it for such a long time and because of the Elvis thing there is a strong fan base out there - it will capture the imagination." An employee for 30 years, Wall stole the money from Sleaford parking meters. And her deviant sprees went unnoticed for nine years while she ferreted away an average of £4,850 a month. The title 'Caught In A Trap' aptly reflects Wall's eventual fate - a three-year prison sentence. But possibly more distressing was the sale of the precious loot to repay the council's loss.
