The biter is bit, but just a little bit……………….
Vandalism versus us………………….a result!
Opening the mail presents its own frisson of excitement, especially returning after a holiday, (no DIY duties this time, thank god!). I received an interesting letter, which I will share with you, from our own dear Clerk of Court today telling us that all our hard work in trying to catch the vandals that destroyed the entryphone to our Nursery was successful. We caught them on our cctv and they were able to be identified. The culprit was caught by our very friendly police officers, charged, taken to court and found guilty.
Fantastic!
Now here’s the rub, read the letter carefully and see if you think I will get any money as a result.
A £10 book token to the best and most humorous reply that gets posted on the comments.
Here is the letter:
Offender: Vandal in chief Mr X.
Offence: CRIM LAW CONSOLID 1995 S52(1)&(3) VANDALISM
The above-named was, on Tuesday 7 February 2006, ordered to pay into this court the sum of £200.00 as compensation for your loss and/or damages caused by the above offence. Any payments received will be sent to you.
Actual payment of the compensation order will depend not only on the Court’s order but also on whether or not the offender complies with that Order. Payment can only be enforced by the Court and on no account should you contact or attempt to contact the offender directly or accept any payment from him. Any enquiries should be made to this office but not for at least six weeks after the date of this letter.
Yours etc
Dep Clerk of Court
