Julie's Boggle

This week, the peaceful citizens of Westwick Gardens were shocked by a heinous felony. Some time between the afternoon of Sunday 22 October and the evening of Thursday 26 October, this VW polo was broken into and ransacked.

Stunned owners Tom & Julie Brazier were just popping down to the local for a quick half, when they discovered the crime. “We were just popping down to the local for a quick half when we discovered the crime”, said a visibly shaken Tom. The vehicle contents were left in a state of disarray after what police called an “untidy search”…

Yes, we too have now enjoyed the universal South African experience of “vehicle crime” in good old Shepherd’s Bush. Vital statistics:

• Entry was gained in classic American TV style by pushing a screwdriver under the door handle and manipulating the lock mechanism.
• Nothing taken (apparently our measly possessions weren’t good enough).
• Door handle somewhat damaged – so it’s the old question of do we pay for it ourselves or take a hit to the no claim bonus.

For the morbidly interested, the method of entry can clearly be seen in this picture. Ho hum.
