“Bit worried as we walk there quite regularly.
Have to go 'tooled up' with me 'stout walking cane'.
Seriously, I'm thinking this low-life scum may have known this particular woman had expensive possessions.”

“How brave of this piece of lowlife scum, robbing an 80 year old woman. Wouldn't pick on someone his own age and size would he ... no, because he wouldn't want to risk getting a snouting for his trouble. About time they brought back the birch. This sort of filth wouldn't be so keen to commit crimes against those older and weaker than themselves. They wouldn't want to risk the pain they would get in return.”

“What nasty pieces of work some people are. Let's hope they catch this pathetic excuse of a man and put him out in a field where anybody who wants can take "shots" of him. (I would have said 'at' but probably wouldn't be allowed in this P.C. country)”
