Greystone vandalized

Vandals ransacked the old Greystone Park Psychiatric Hospital in Parsippany last week, causing as much as $15,000 in damage to the 132-year-old structure that was abandoned last month, officials confirmed today.
"Furniture was tossed around, doors were forced open and broken, the model of the new Greystone Hospital was destroyed. The place was pretty well torn up,'' said Ellen Lovejoy, a spokeswoman for the state Department of Human Services, which runs Greystone.
She also said the persons who broke in defecated on the remains of the hospital model.
The damage was discovered by hospital staffers at 10:40 a.m. on Aug. 12, said Lovejoy. State Human Services Police were called in to investigate but have no leads at this time, she said.
A new $170 million Greystone opened last month a short distance from the old hospital, which was mostly emptied of essential equipment and files and left unattended. The administrative duties that had been handled in the center portion of the old building had been moved to the new hospital, said officials.
Greystone is located in Parsippany, a short distance from the borders of Morris Plains and Morris Township.

-New security measures have been put in place at all area abandonments. Also to be noted is that this means stricter punishment and less of a chance that you get let go in the event of being caught. Please plan accordingly. Stay safe!
