Another press release from Jo Hunt at West Midlands Police. Whilst the mobility scooter thieves who struck in Brownhills last week have yet to have their collars felt, it’s nice to note that there are some remarkably kind and generous folks still about. This is a true act of genuine human felicity, and I’d like to salute the donor for their considerate act.
Best wishes to all concerned, and I hope these thieving scum get their comeuppance soon.

I’m a believer in Karma….. the scumbags who stole the scooter will pay in one way or another. I hope they don’t feel a moments peace or happiness until they return it to it’s rightful owner.
