There are some low bastards on this planet!
I was stopped at a service station where I get my petrol[?] from today. Its convenient, not because its close to home, but its somewhere I have to stop at on my postal run.
I’m not going to name the suburb that it is in, but lets just say that it is more of a lower socio-economic area, although its proximity to the city means that it is slowly changing.
While I was taking the mail in, I heard a cry from the forecourt and watched a car speed off almost running someone down.
The woman who almost got cleaned up was getting hysterical and my first immediate thought was that her car had been stolen.
It is not uncommon for people to leave the keys in the car while fueling up, and even while paying, because despite all the crime wave doom and gloom in the tabloid media, people still have a certain feeling of trust for other people/
As it turned out, the people in the (stolen) car, speeding off, had snatched the womans bag. It was partly her fault because she had put it on the boot[?] next to her as she was filling up, but I couldn’t help feeling sorry for her.
No one needs that shit
A few people tried going after the vehicle, myself included, but really there was no hope in catching it.
By the time people realised what had happened, they were long gone.
Something else that also bugged me. When the Police arrived they were asking for descriptions, and naturally they asked what colour the offenders were.
Nothing wrong with that of course. Skin colour is a distinguishing feature as much as height, build and hair colour.
No. What bugged me what the acting sergeant’s surprised tone when told the offenders were white. Ahh racism is alive and well!
