I am writing to let the three teenagers who stole my mother's purse in Polegate know you are the lowest of the low.

I really hope you have a miserable Christmas. Do you really think my mother can afford to lose money? Is none of you able to go and earn extra cash for Christmas? Don't you care about anything but yourselves? So much for seasonal goodwill.
