Essy treated me to a restaurant lunch today because it was Valentine’s day. I managed to get a parking space right outside even though the place was on a very busy road with many shops either side of the place. As we ate lunch, at 13:30, my seat was facing the window and I watched in horror as a hooded piece of scum smashed the drivers door window on my car and reached inside! We were both outside in seconds, along with local shopkeepers, and he was off before he could get anything out of the car. I went back into the restaurant to ask them to call the Police and when I went back outside Essy was missing! She’d chased the little bastard determined to do him an injury! But a skinny young hoodie out ran her :-( The Police said they’d call back, after 30 minutes they hadn’t so I rang again, they said again they’d ring back but before they did the little bastard come into view again so I called again … “we’ll call you back”. Then a WPC walked by the restaurant – hurray. I rushed out to her but she was on the way to something or other and would “let control know” and that was all she could do. This evening at 19:10 the Police left a message on my answering machine (we were out) calling us back as promised 6 hours later!! I’ve not rung them back yet and wonder whether there is any point in doing so?
