My daughter is a front line nurse.
Last month she contacted Covid-19, which fortunately she recovered from, but is still feeling the effects of.
Last week a pipe burst in her downstairs bathroom overnight while she and her husband were asleep and flooded her out.
Last night she went to go to work and found some low life had stolen her car!!
I'm angry, so angry at the low lived scumbag.
I hope they find her car wrapped round a tree with the scum thief crippled inside it.
That is all.

Gosh, your poor DD.

I’ll be sat at home wishing bad karma on the theif as well OP, ignore these martyrs. I’m sure they’d be feeling similar had it happen to them.

OP, I think most people know exactly what you mean, how you are feeling, and understand you don't literally wish disability on anyone.

Your anger is understandable.

Your poor daughter, that is a shit run of shit things to happen x

I would cuddle her. Fuck social distancing, sometimes exceptions happen and I think what's happened to your poor dd is a definite exception.

The theif may have stolen the car for scrap to buy food for their family

What a load of crap. In the whole history of reasons why people nick cars that won’t ever have been the reason. You’d just shoplift.

More like stealing it and selling it to buy drugs, latest iPhone or the latest Montcler coat they soooo deserve. Or commissioned by some gang to steal to order and ship to Europe.

I very rarely read about people in court saying they stole stuff because their DC gad no shoes and no food. It's mostly to feed drug addictions.

The person that took the car might have needed it just to sell for scrap to buy some food for their family.

This fucking stupid suggestion has really tickled me.

Although you know scrap merchants aren't actually allowed to receive stolen goods either, right?

I hope your daughter's luck changes now, OP.

You're terrific and I wish you all good health.

Oh maybe that's why I'm disabled or "crippled" as it's been put! Grin Must be because I deserve it though, according to this thread..

What a horrible shitty thing to do, of course you are upset. I won't even say what I wished on the teenagers who beat my teen up and stole his phone

As I said earlier, of course I don't really wish for anyone to be left disabled.
I'm angry, upset and want to comfort my child in a way that only a mother can.
And I can't.
However, if you wish to think I'm a terrible person for saying something while feeling emotional then please do. I can't change your opinion on that.
Thank you to the posters who have shown a wonderful support. You're terrific and I wish you all good health.

I do believe in just desserts though Great because the just desserts for stealing a car isn't to be crippled.

Plenty of us are struggling to feed our families. We aren't out there stealing cars.

Thatcher, is that you??!

No, I am Norman Tebbit.

I would have got on my bike if my family could have afforded one, instead I just got off my arse.

There are vulnerable, ill people in the UK who need the help and support of our social system. Everyone else can crack on and sort themselves out as far as I am concerned. It takes skill to steal a car, but then some people are too lazy to work the hours or put in the study to end up with a job that would buy you a decent car.

just because someone may/may not be desperately skint it does not give them the right to steal other peoples property.
I will join you and hope the thief gets their just deserts , the utter shit bag
pp^^ If the thieves hadn't pinched the car in the first place they wouldn't be dead now they made that decision and they copped for it

I think people generally have to do more than 'contact' Covid-19, in order to 'catch' the virus.

My best wishes to your daughter, I hope she stays well.

Everyone in this country has access to education and opportunities, if they choose to take them

Thatcher, is that you??!

Of course, if people are poor, destitute or uneducated it's entirely their own fault. Hmm

I'm sure young carers who can't attend school because of caring responsibilities or young people who've gone through the care system and slipped through the net will all agree! And that's not even getting into children from very deprived and difficult home lives where school is the last on the priority list.
