But as I said if you haven't been there you will never understand  And before anyone says it will never happen to any of their family I would say "never say never" it happens to people from all walks of life unfortunately. |
I have had both in my family, who have fortunately come out of the other side ok, and agree that they are not the scum of the earth, many however have to steal to afford the habits, that is my basis for saying not in a residential area, the crime cont is likely to go up, and then with it, house insurance, car insurance etc.
I thought the police would sort out a problem I was in the middle of some years ago, sadly not, I sorted them out myself, at great financial and emotional cost.
