Not too interesting, they followed the wife after seeing her on her way to work. With balaclavas on they forced her out of the car, and make off. As they were part of Bradford Dingers (car theft gang) and sent videos to each other of the theft! After getter caught for further burglaries, phone seized and vids watched! 18 months each, a very sad tale of misspent youth, and after looking at their families they never stood a chance!
That's horrible. Hope your wife is ok now?
But 18 months for a car jacking and other burglaries, is an absolute joke. This is why they keep doing it. They know they'll get a lenient sentence at worst. Be out in half of that, and back out on the streets causing misery to home owners and car owners.
Yet somehow they go through life and get away with it all. You always hope Karma will get them in the end, but it never does. They get their benefits money (that we pay for) and when they get old, they'll get free care, while the rest of us who work, and work hard get to see all our savings dwindle, to pay for our care and theirs.
And then you get the worst kind of burglar. I used to see a lass many years ago who came from the not so nice part of town. You then get to hear things from people on the street. One or two guys renowned for burglaries in the area, used to target homes at this time of year, where they knew those homes had children in. Why? So they could rob them of the presents, so they could give them to their kids.
When you're stood listening to people brag like that, and watch as others laugh about it, it takes a lot to bite ones tongue. Needless (thankfully) to say, that relationship didn't last that long.
Her family and friends didn't like me much, all because I had my own home, owned my own car, didn't smoke, take drugs, or get sh*t faced on Vodka every night, and that had the sheer audacity to have a job. Apparently I thought I was better than everyone else. In this circumstance, I didn't think that at all. I already knew it !!
Certainly an eye opener though.
