I'm thinking landowners who are tired of people visiting the tree?

That was the theory for the 60 and 16 year olds that were previously questioned and released. These are two different men.

Not that it would be a valid excuse regardless.

Whoever saw it, it might me a tenon or a homeowner needs to give the police a buzz.

And a conservation listed structure, and a national monument too. Tears may be much (although we don't know people's reasons for attachment to the site), but it is not a trivial crime.

I trade with the national park centre there and there was an awful lot of upset over it because it was just an act of pure mindless vandalism

Such a bitter spiteful thing to do which they probably thought was funny

I hope they get force fed dog shit
