Seat stolen

AN outdoor seat with plaque dedicated to the memory of Joan Backhouse was stolen from lawns outside St Mark’s Church, Balnarring, overnight Wednesday 4 October.

The jarrah three-seater, with the plaque mounted in middle, had been bolted onto concrete between the vicarage and the church on the Stumpy Gully Rd side of the property.

Senior Constable Travis O’Donnell, of Hastings police, said the seat was valued at about $1200 but had a greater sentimental value.
