I got a call yesterday from the Police saying that they needed a witness statement. I asked why they would need such a thing and they said it was because they had caught the guy (apparently he is just a kid) who stole the Fiesta!
She said that I should have been informed when he was arrested in April and was very apologetic. I said that I didn't mind as there was nothing I could do about the news anyway. She then said "no wonder everyone has such little confidence in the Police" to which I said "I don't think lowly of the police at all". Which is true, I don't. I have the utmost respect for the Police and the Law that it is there to enforce.
So this afternoon a Police officer came over to our house to take a statement. It was basically a formality.
So what of the person who stole my car? Well he apparently has 8 separate convictions for motor theft, of which he has admitted to 6. His prints where all over the inside of the car so he really is utterly without thought.
Talking to the police man today about the crime brought it all back and now I'm nervous again. I keep looking out of the window at the Octavia just to make sure it is there. I do this about 15 times a day usually (only since the Fiesta was stolen) but now I'm doing it 15 times an hour. I just can't settle. I wonder if I ever will? Damn that little crap to stole my car!
