Thugs have stolen little Harvey Brown’s disability badge after smashing into the family car last week – the second time in three years.
Thieves made off with the badge after smashing the window of the Browns’ car in Bermondsey on Monday night, March 16.
Harvey, 11, is well known to News readers and Millwall fans alike as being a Lions superfan who suffers from the ultra-rare Morquio syndrome.
Alongside having to isolate because of the coronavirus, the footie fanatic has also been staying indoors since last month because of an operation on his knees.
Added to the family’s struggles at this time is the fact the Browns have now had to shell out £50 on the insurance and apply for a new disability badge from Southwark Council.
“It’s disgusting,” said his dad, Dean. “I’ve heard rumours that people sell them so they could get three hundred quid upwards.
“They are making money off taking stuff from disabled people. They don’t realise the damage they do, not just for us but to do it to anyone.
“I can’t get my head around how people could be so scummy.”
On February 11, Harvey had to have an operation to his knees, meaning his mobility is limited and the badge came in useful to have priority parking in supermarkets.

I want to reply but I’m speechless to be honest.
