Traffic warden slams thugs who trashed work van after throwing concrete slab through window

A Scots traffic warden has been left devastated after her van was vandalised while she was "simply trying to do her job".
The passenger window of the Highland Council worker's vehicle was smashed while she was parked in Thurso over the weekend.
The employee, who we have not named, took to social media to share pictures of the damage and remind residents that she is "a human being with feeling" following the callous vandalism.

But she said: "It doesn't matter if it is job related or not - it's criminal damage. I get very nasty comments most days and threatened too.
"This is totally unacceptable for whatever reason.
"People should remember I'm a human with feeling! Maybe they
