Feck me.
Car seized, £150 to recover it, plus the two offences meaning it goes to court.

Post from the Llandudno Facebook group: -
Just wanted to say a huge thank you to HM Coastguard cliff rescue team, who spent four hours setting up and absailing down a 150 foot clifface on the Gt Orme this afternoon, to try and save a week old Kashmiri goat kid, that had been stuck on a ledge 40 feet down, for about 24 hours. Putting their own safety at risk to save an animal rates very highly in my book, and such a shame that the kid took fright when they were so close to rescuing it, and sadly lost its life.
Well done everyone you did the best you could, and I know you were terribly disappointed with the outcome.Comment

That's because it is half-term plus the hole is further down the road..."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment
