In Portsmouth
A few years ago I accidentally opened some mail that was for the neighbour, it was quite thick & I thought it may have been a magazine. It was infact from their lawyer & contained witness statements from a number of old people.

It turned out the woman next door used to do meals on wheels type care work for the elderly, she was sacked because some old folks were complaining about things going missing. The cheeky bitch was then using her ID card & client list to go round & nick stuff from them. Take 20 quid to do a bit of shoppping & then dissapear. Daft cow was even signing a register at their houses

I was really angry, mugging people is one thing but these old folks relied on meals on wheels as there were not very mobile, it was preying on the weakest of the weak & abusing a trust that really got my blood boiling.

All the statements started with a list of ailments that these old folks had, & they had the lot. I wanted to wage a war on this cow, I contemplated photocpoying the lot & pushing copies through everyone's letter box on the street. But they had a little girl who was about 6 & very sweet, they used to chuck her out when they were having a row, she used to knock on the door & tell us if we had left the car lights on. It was because of this girl that I did nothing in the end, I didn't want her to suffer at school or from her peers.

I took solice that the law would run it's course & she would be put away, I think she may have got away with it in the end, but we moved soon after & never found out.
