To the editor,

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.

The Ugly

I am the latter, an OAP living in the lovely almshouses in Wallingford – very happily – until I was burgled during April 4th/5th 2020.

Amongst other things they stole my laptop, iPad and mobile phone (all gifts) which at this present time have become so important.

The Good

Two wonderful DCs arrived within an hour of my call, later followed by another PC to find fingerprints. They were all incredibly supportive and kind and reassuring. Also my lovely family and friends, who have been a great comfort.

The Bad

I find it hard to understand how anyone can violate someone's home where they should feel safe and secure. To then steal their possessions is beyond belief. I hope that one day this person or persons will be ashamed of their despicable actions at a time when their country – indeed the world – is in crisis.

Yours sincerely
