RESIDENTS have complained about a car which has been abandoned outside York District Hospital.

This is an all-too-common sight these days, as stolen or dumped cars are left to have their insides ransacked and the windscreen glass scattered over the pavement.

Occasionally, these forsaken cars are set alight.

However, in this case a different explanation occurs to us.

It is possible this car belongs to someone who gave up all hope while sitting in the endless queue to get into the hospital car park.
