A shrine has been built in memory of Britain's most prolific burglar who racked up more than 700 break-ins before he was 18.
Bradley Wernham, 27, was branded a 'one-man crimewave' after taking more than £1million in stolen goods between the ages of 12 and 18.
He sparked national outrage when a judge took pity on him in 2009 after he confessed to 17 burglaries and asked for the other 645 he had committed to be 'taken into account'.
The career criminal, originally of Harlow, Essex, only ever spent a year and a half in prison and was living with his partner Louise Upton.
But he was found dead in a field in Gilston, Hertfordshire on November 23 after disappearing from a pub drinking session on November 19.
As a way of paying tribute to him mourners have erected a shrine in Harlow town centre.

The day after his death his partner posted on Facebook: 'You meant the world to me Bradley Wernham u were the best thing that happened to me.
'I miss ur cuddles and kisses,I miss ur smell and ur snoring,I just miss u.
'I'm heart broken right now,but I take comfort in knowing that u loved me and u got me,and I got u,I love u babe xxxx.'
She told the local newspaper: 'He was amazing. I saw him every day. He was there for me and he was changing his life.'
His grandmother Pauline told the paper: 'He made people happy and he was very funny.'
His mother Sharon added: 'If he saw homeless people he would go and get them chips and make sure they had been fed. He will never be forgotten.'
Her son started his life of crime aged 10 regularly targeting people's homes, garages, pubs, schools and even a church.
He was also known for taking people's cars, including a £85,000 Mercedes, a £50,000 Porsche Cayman and a £30,000 Land Rover Discovery.
Wernham escaped jail in October 2009 and was given a curfew and 150 hours community service.

A missing person poster implores anyone who thought they had seen Wernham to tell police
He was able to live rent-free in his own flat and was sent to college at the taxpayers' expense after the judge made him promise to turn his life around.
But just three months later he was arrested in wake of a '500 per cent spike' in burglaries in Chelmsford, Essex.
He was jailed for five years in August 2010 at Chelmsford Crown Court after confessing to aggravated vehicle taking and attempted burglary, but was released after 18 months.
Speaking at his 2009 court hearing at the same court, Judge Christopher Ball, QC - in sparing him jail - said: 'This is a unique solution
'This is about as unusual a sentencing hearing case I have ever come across.
'To find someone who owns up to over 640 offences covering a six-year period whilst he has another 20-odd before court is a very, very unusual situation.'

At his case in 2010 the same judge told him: 'You cast yourself as a victim and you're not.
'Until you are a man, or man enough to appreciate that fact, there will be little hope in you changing your conduct.'
A spokesman for Essex Police confirmed this week that the body of Wernham had been found at 1pm and that his death is currently being treated as 'unexplained but not suspicious'.
He said: 'A 27-year-old man from Harlow was reported as missing on November 19 and we carried out enquiries to try and find him.
'The search was suspended following the discovery of a man's body near Gilston in Hertfordshire on November 23.'

He sparked ...
It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
