Makes me furious too. Besides being utterly brainless what makes people do these selfish acts ? I hope they're forced to pay their fines as well.

Dear me - that is so sad. Such thoughtless people; and such selfless rescuers, who have paid the price of other's idiocy.

I'm not easily wound up, but this makes me so angry angry.
This kind of thing used to happen in our days of walking in the Lakes, stupid walkers thinking all they need is a mobile phone to call for help. ie brave volunteers to put thei lives at risk for them.
But during Covid lockdown, and in this weather - I'm almost speechless.
