Thi has just gone beyond funny and has landed back in pathetic. It's not even able to be laughed at anymore.
It's gone past that.
Last night, I listened to a police scanner of some lady's car being stolen by a bunch of youths from Mount Morgan and driven around Gracemere. The youths did an evade of a police intercept. Police had to do a chase throughout the town before the car was dumped. The victim was a lady was in her 70s.
And this is exactly the issue that is not being addresed.
This poor dear's vehicle has been abused, possibly even destroyed by these thieves.
Her insurance, will not cover the full cost of replacement and will probably write off the car should the damage be even 1/2 of the vehicles book price.
This will mean she will have to either find several thousand dollars or make do with a cheaper second hand car.
Whereas her old vehicle could have lasted her for the remainder of her life.
The criminals, will get off with a slap on the wrist for destroying this poor dear's life.
This is the true hidden cost to the victims.
Innocent victims who are punished for simply being victims.
Criminals should be made to foot the bill to repair or replace that stolen or damaged from the victims.
This would be true justice.
But the courts and the grubberment just want their cut, the fines, they don't care a figs arse about the victims.
this is why I refuse to be a victim.
I'm happy to pay someone to take it out of the criminals hide if I cant get it any other way.
Until justice makes its way back into the legal system
I'm all for vigilantism.
