Help with:

I have a full grid and have identified missing letters.

I googled and found the object. But it does not have more number of letters than need to be replaced. Can someone help me with the name?

The robber is 7, 6.
In the bottom half of the grid I see the last 6 letters of 7 and first four letters of 6.

Thanks.

Oops. I should have said the object's name is one less or one more than the letters to be replaced.

Hankir, for the purposes of the crossword the object is eight letters, formed by the letters not given in wordplay for some clues. If those are not entered, you have a void, the appropriate shape - I'd actually put them in, saw what they spelled out and then removed them. In another part of the grid, there is a similar rectangle, containing a more specific reference to the object. It's surrounded by details of where the object was found. You move the set of 8 letters from there into the void. You'll then have the 6 complete. You've got an error in 34 D - the 7's name appears completely.

Thanks Neveracrossword.
I have Carpi in 34d.

I just realized that it is a nickname.
Sorry, not much aware of the history of the subject.

And only after the replacement, one gets the robber's name.
7 letters.

Sorry, Hankir, I got in a muddle with your letters for the person! I hope I didn't cause you problems - and I hope too that you got this all finished off.
