“I don't know why they are 'shocked and devastated', it's par for the course nowadays.
I just can't get my head around why cash, laptops etc are left on the premises, or if they are, why aren't they locked up, out of sight, in a secure cupboard or similar.
As Brian says, scum of the Earth, but there's going to be no change in human nature any time soon, especially when there are so many soft targets about.”
