Thieves steal Salvation Army captain's car

A Salvation Army boss admits he’s finding it hard to show Christian tolerance – after sneaky thieves trashed his car.

Captain Stephen Poxon was dismayed to discover that callous crooks had pinched his Vauxhall Cavalier from his driveway.

And the agony was piled on when cops later found the car lying wrecked four miles away in Johnstone.

It has now been sent for scrap.

“My wife Heather and I work full-time for the Salvation Army so, on a number of levels, the theft of our car was chaotic,” said Stephen.
