Had to go with the police to recover a stolen cooker and hood this morning.
Enquiries are ongoing as to whether the chap who owned the house stole them or whether he obtained them in part ex for a car (he runs a second hand car lot). Slight bit of sympathy if it was the latter, none at all if it was the former.
It was the wee woman and her young daughter who were obviously innocent of the whole thing who made me feel wretched. They were minding their business this morning when 4 uniformed plod, 2 plain clothes and 1 Croppie turn up at the door.
There was no hassle, no bother, no screaming or shouting. Just gentle sobbing.
Probably the lowest I've ever felt.
I've never had an issue with shutting down a gas supply because I can balance the upset in my own mind with the fact I'm saving lives. This one though? There were no winners.
I never looked in the rear view as I left.
