During Notts Reserves recent game against Bassingfield Reserves at Alford Road in West Bridgford, second team captain Paul Stevenson was the unfortunate victim of a car park robbery when his Mondeo estate had its window smashed and his sports bag stolen by some hit and run thieves who kept the engine of their (probably stolen) car running while this crime was committed before they sped off.

Wolfie's bag contained little or no money, only his clothes.
As one Committee member later reported, "Police are looking for a thief with no taste."

There is no truth in the rumour that the thieves, when they had discovered what they had got, later tracked down where he lives and broke back into his car to put the bag back.

On a serious note, it is a warning for players who put their belongings in their cars before matches. These thieves probably did the rounds of several park pitch car parks that afternoon. On this occasion they came away with little - but the inconvenience of insurance claims is trouble enough, without possibly losing wallets or valuables.
