We were visiting my dad at the hospice this afternoon (his condition is going steadily downhill so he's back in again) when I noticed 2 youths aged 14 to 15 at a guess, hop over the stone wall next to the main road and into the car park.

I went to the window and one of them was crouching down at the front of an Audi A3 while his mate kept watch. I knew they were up to no good so I dashed outside and they legged it straight away. They had bent the S-Line badge on the grill in a bid to remove it and the owners of the car were visiting their elderly mum in the hospice

Best I could do was get a photo as they walked off and crossed the road at the traffic lights (below). I left my details with the victims and told them to report it to Notts Police switchboard. I just hope the fact it happened at the hospice will motivate Notts Police to do more than just issue a crime number so let's see what happens.

I think there will be plenty of CCTV at the B&Q superstore that they walked past up the road so they should be able to spot them meandering about. Trouble is, police are so stretched that a minor criminal damage like this might not justify such an investigation.

All too common I'm afraid. My Brother-in-Law had his window smashed and the disabled badge stolen when he was taking his terminally ill daughter to the London Hospital and our friend had her radio stolen from the hospital car park while visiting her terminally ill husband.

Notts Police have just phoned me and asked if the photo can identify them. I said not by faces but at least some clothing detail and there is a CCTV camera overlooking the junction I have noticed on street view. Let's see what happens... LL.B (Hons) - University of Derby

Absolute scum.

Also, sorry to hear about your dad. If it wasn't so bad it'd be funny.

Freelander 2 HSE auto 2014 ( Florrie ) ..... Try again.
Freelander 2 GS 2012...... Gone.

is that at Kings Mill ?

If so I don't think there is any CCTV other than the ones at the junction next to McDonalds

I would love to know what they planned to do with a bent S-Line badge though

I had a VW in the 90's the Beastie Boy fans were a frigging nightmare.

yeh but at least that badge just popped off causing no damage and served a purpose as a fashion accessory, the plastic strip saying S-Line serves no purpose and has no pub value...

Our neighbour attended a funeral a couple of weeks ago and the carpark was across the road from the church service, whilst in there some scumbags forced the locks on his car and went through the inside, nowt in the car worth pinching but caused over a thousand pounds worth of damage. Total : !!!
