Return of the Bench....

Update: very early on Saturday morning, the bench was returned to the Centre, having been repainted bright blue. 

This individual was captured on CCTV as he helped himself to a bench that was located in the garden of Neston Community Youth Centre, early in the morning of Tuesday April 14.

The thief we are looking for.

Yes, the very same Centre that is at the heart of the volunteering effort going on in our community at this time of crisis.

The bench was bolted down, so this person clearly went there with the tools and will to remove the bench, come what may.  He made off in the direction of Station Road.  

The bench we are looking for.

Let's find him, NOW. 

If you have CCTV, please check it for more sightings.

If you know who this is, please call the police on 101 file a report online at https://www.cheshire.police.uk/

If you've seen the bench, Neston Community Youth Centre would appreciate its safe return. Thank you.

Just a suggestion which I expect the Community Centre have already followed up on. Have they checked their CCTV for the week or 2/3 weeks prior to this theft as the thief will almost certainly have visited the site previously to see how the seat was fixed down before returning to steal it. It is very sad that lowlifes target anyone let alone a Centre that is doing so much good work to help the local community through these difficult times.

Good point, thank you.

'New User' - could you please change your screen name to something less generic? We are asking everyone to do this, as the defaults of 'Undefined' and 'New User' are not conducive to community discourse. Click on the word 'AMAZing' top left of the screen and go into your 'Profile' - there is a box in there to input a screen name of your choice. Thank you.

Thanks for the suggestion but unfortunately it would take hours to sit through all the footage just to look for someone taking too much interest.

Good of him to offer this free service during the challenging time's.

I have a shed that could do with painting. Any idea how I get in touch with the twilight tradesman?

I can leave the garden gate unlocked so he doesn't have to disturb us for access in the early morning.

I think we have been played by the way.

A matching light blue Shopping Trolley has appeared overnight next to the bench.

Perhaps we have a twilight acting Banksy in the making? This stuff could be worth a fortune in years to come.
