Car owner's anger over burned motor
A CAR owner has spoken of her anger after arsonists torched her beloved motor.
Kayley Brooker was unaware her Peugeot 106 had been targeted until police knocked on her door.
The 22-year-old, of Darley Grove, Farnworth, saved cash to buy the car while she was a student.
She said yesterday: "The car was decorated in a girly pink and cream with cuddly toys that my friends and family gave me when I passed my test.
"I'm not sure whether to feel angry or upset."
Arsonists struck at 12.30am on Tuesday. Miss Brooker had parked her car near to the junction of Darley Grove at its junction with Railway Street.
Firefighters were contacted by an anonymous caller and spent 40 minutes extinguishing the fire.
Miss Brooker was unaware her car had been targeted until police called at her home the next day.
It was damaged beyond repair and will now be scrapped.

Don't get angry or upset. Get even. Left to the PC brigade, these scum will be given a cuddle and a bit of pyschoanalysis. Left to me, they'd be given anthrax.

Some sick **** will be laughing about this. Where the hell is "Law and Order"? It's time they came back off holiday. All the MP's are only worried about their second homes and the rip-off expenses that they claim. Give us a government with the "balls" to sort out this country, and tell the do-gooders and PC brigade to go where they belong, to hell.

Sure you wouldn't be saying that WUMPKINS had it been your car that was burnt out. It was probably her pride and joy to herself that she had saved up for

Correct, MCB - exactly the sort of emotional distress that is utterly ignored, and wholly unaddresssed, by our perp-centric PC-riddled criminal justice system. We WANT retribution and punishment FIRST, with rehabilitation coming in a distant third.

Every week decent, law abiding citizens have to pick up the bill for the actions of irresponsible morons. These people show no regard for their victims rights, yet wail with indignation about their rights if a copper so much as grabs them by the shoulder.
It's about time that rights weren't something which some little turd thinks they are born with but something which others have fought, suffered and even died for.
What rights should some 16 year old sh1t who jumps on the roof of someones car and who has not yet contributed to society be entitled to?
None, he hasn't earned any.
Apart from a minority of limp wristed, do-gooders. The people of our country are sick to the teeth of having to put up with juvenile deliquents getting away with crime. The government should get these crumbums sorted out. It's what decent people pay taxes for.
