Bugger.
I feel for you mate.

As to why?
Because there are some elements (I hesitate to use the word 'people',) out there who have no empathy toward anyone else at all.
They 'are', they 'exist', therefore they have 'rights'.
And they see it as their 'right' to go through life (if you could call it a life,) doing absolutely whatever happens to catch their attention at any given moment.
That it causes heart-break to someone else just doesn't come into the equation.
It
just
doesn't
occur
to
them.

And they breed...and their vote counts for just as much as yours does.

I really feel for you mate.
And I hope you catch them before the police do...
