WITH a bit of luck, the yobs who vandalised Jack Green's mobility scooter will face swift justice.

Mr Green, 72, spent his life savings on the scooter only to have it wrecked by vandals. They destroyed his independence at the same time.

Now he has it back, thanks to York chef Jennie Cook and her son Aaron, who have donated a scooter to Mr Green.

Their gift is a much-needed reminder in these grim days that human kindness still exists in abundance.
