We had our car’s passenger side window popped during the night by some mindless idiot!! One of at least three cars that it happened to in our road last night!!!
What a mess to clear up, glass all over the inside of the car!! I suppose we now become another entry on the Crime Statistics for Berkshire. Just waiting for those friendly AutoGlass people to arrive to fit a replacement.
One interesting comment from the Police when I rang for the Crime Number for the Insurance company. They asked if anything was in the car that might be able to be used to get fingerprints off. I said that there was an aerosol can of windscreen ice defroster that had been moved by the ‘perp’, so they asked that it be lifted out carefully and placed in a ‘paper’ bag. They said that it had to be a paper bag and not a plastic bag as this can sometimes contaminate the ‘evidence’ with chemicals etc.
So it seems that all that you see on the various TV cops shows and even CIS (in its many variations) don’t always keep to proper methods of collecting evidence. Anyway found an empty cereal box for the can.
Spoilt the day though.
