The Anti Dairy Fairy

When I first started writing this blog, many months ago, one of my posts was entitled ‘thieves are scum’ and once again my family have been affected.    Yesterday my husband went down to his Rugby Club to help out with some painting and redecorating – helping out voluntarily and doing his bit.   He changed into his painting gear and left his jeans in the changing room for at the most 20 mins, during which time some b**stard went through his pockets and stole his wallet + £90, his watch, his blackberry and his car keys.   They then went out into the car park and stole our mini.     My husband is gutted, not only at the fact that he has lost the above items but the fact that it happened at the Rugby Club and at the loss of his watch and his wallet, not because of the monetary value but because of the fact that both were presents and had sentimental value. What should have been a happy family day for us yesterday turned into a nightmare of frustration, giving statements to the Police, cancelling credit cards and phones etc., etc.  It makes me sick that somebody has just walked in and helped themselves to property that has been bought and paid for with hard work on our part.     These scum just do not care, they take the view that people have ‘insurance’.   Yes we have insurance, we are lucky in that respect but we will pay again for it in the long run when our premiums go up yet again.    It is the unfairness of it all and the fact that even if they catch this person they will probably only get a slap on the wrist.    The first car we had stolen – oh yes it has happened before – was taken by a man who 2 hours earlier that day had been given a slap on the wrist for TWOC (taking without the owner’s consent).  He obviously stuck two fingers up at the Court because he then went out and perpetrated the same crime 2 hours later but this time not only did he steal my car but he wrecked someone’s life by smashing into them and injuring them quite badly.   The Police would not let me into the cell he was being held in – I wonder why – but they were totally disillusioned with our justice system and said that he should have been given a  harsher sentence the first time.   With prisons being full to capacity we stand no chance of justice and once again the criminals in this country will win again. So once again I am back in that place of frustration and despair at our Criminal Justice System – or lack of it should I say – and am fed up.
