To the wonderful thieves who broke into my car last Wednesday night - you know who you are because you also stole a car from the same road in Portslade.

I am not quite sure who is better off, me or the person who lost the car altogether. You stole my CDs and portable cd player. How sad and low can you get? You will probably get a few pounds for these items but, thanks to you, I have been left with a bill that is close to £600.

If you are that desperate for cash, whether for fags or drugs, I would rather have given you the money than having to lose my no-claims bonus.

What goes around comes around. You are the sort of evil people that would steal a child's last sweet. How would you feel if this was done to you? You wouldn't like it, would you? You are just scum.

Just think, your mum or dad could be reading this, thinking you are so sweet and innocent and sonny would not take to this type of crime.

I just hope you don't have children because they learn from their parents. I hope one day some scumbag steals from you. That's when the joke will be on you. Good luck for the future because the way you lot are going you are going to need it.
