Some People Are...

...complete and utter bastards.

I'll beg forgiveness now for the language - I am more than somewhat hopping mad right about now.

My car (the one that I have already had to spend £200 on this month) has been broken into. They have jemmied back the top of the front passenger door, reached in, unlocked the door, spread the contents of the glove compartment across my passenger seat and ultimately? They stole a packet of Mr Clean Spring Fresh wipes.

Yes. That is ALL they have taken. The radio is still in situ, all the tapes (so far as I can see) are present and correct, the steering column is fine (so they didn't try to go for a joyride with it)...they just stole the cleaning wipes.

What. The. FUCK. Is. Wrong. With. These. People?

I have to take the car down to the police station this afternoon (oh joy) to get it checked over and then I get to find out how the hell much it's going to cost me to have my door repaired (I have a two inch gap at the top of my front passenger door, where they've bent the door away from the frame).

The police, when I called, offered me victim support.

I catch up to the culprets of this, THEY are going to be the ones in need of support.

Update

Good news? My door is now fixed. It may leak and there is now, without question, a weakness in that piece of the door frame from being bent about, BUT there is no longer a two inch gap.

Bad news? No prints. The prints that I saw are on the glove box lid which is a textured surface from which prints can't be lifted. Everything else got wet and so no prints. Which just about proves the little bleeders who did this are going to get off scot-free.

And the best advice being offered on crime prevention? Is to leave my **** glove box open and empty in future. Which I might not have minded, but for the fact that the police officer was verbally patting me on the head and treating me like I was somehow the person in the wrong here.

If anything, right now, I think I'm even more angry than I was this morning - and I didn't think that was possible.

Thanks, everyone, for the support and hugs.
