Post van theft: justice has not been done
I made the mistake of leaving the keys in the ignition. An opportunist thief stole the van and I was subsequently sacked from my job after 19 years unblemished service.
What annoys me is the fact I finally got the information from the police recently about the thief who stole the van. I was told the man in question was on remand for house burglary and also admitted stealing the van. The sentence he received for both offences was 12 months imprisonment.

I have lost my livelihood, had to declare myself bankrupt and lost my home as I cannot afford the mortgage. I honestly believe justice has not been done.
