Hospice Bonds stolen

Wakefield Today

SIGNED photos of two James Bond stars were stolen from the Wakefield Hospice fund-raising offices during a break-in.




Burglars smashed through the front window of the offices and snatched the signed photos of Pierce Brosnan and Roger Moore off the wall in reception.
The pictures, donated to Wakefield Hospice six years ago for a special 007 fund-raiser, were taken, along with a signed photo of the Coronation Street cast.
Police were alerted to the burglary in Thornes Moor Business Park at 7.45pm on Monday after the security alarm activated.
Hospice fund-raiser Helen Knowles said: "The pictures were of great sentimental value to us. Pierce Brosnan sent his because he has been a passionate supporter of the hospice movement since his wife died of breast cancer.
"If anyone sees them on sale on the internet or anywhere else, please think before buying them. They belong to a charity."

Bonds are back where they belong

STOLEN signed photos of James Bond stars Sir Roger Moore and Pierce Brosnan were returned to Wakefield Hospice this week.

Last week we exclusively revealed Sir Roger had given the hospice a replacement signed photograph after reading about the theft in the Express.
Now the two photos, plus one of the Coronation Street cast, stolen last December have been anonymously returned.
Hospice fund-raiser Helen Knowles said: "We're absolutely delighted to have them back. It was very unfortunate when they were stolen, as we could not put a price on what they are worth to the hospice."
She attributed their return to the article in the Express last week about Sir Roger's donation.
The photographs were originally donated to the hospice six years ago for a special 007 fund-raising event.
They were taken when burglars smashed through the front window of the hospice's fund-raising office and snatched them off the wall.
