My wife came home from her show rehearsal this Monday visibly shaken by what she had just heard and seen.
Her friend lives in Bolton (West Houghton I think) on Friday night (13/1) at approximately 20.00pm her front door was kicked in by men in balaclavas using screwdrivers as weapons. Her husband managed to stop them coming through the front door whilst she phoned the police ( and was told we will be there in 15 minutes - FFS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!).
These scum then went round the back of the house and smashed the patio door in using a wheelbarrow, her husband took a bit of a hiding and they dragged her downstairs by her hair. My wife saw her friend had massive bruises all down her side and a suspected cracked rib. The scum then got the keys and drove off in her silver 03 plate.
My other half is tiny and drives our car on her own at night and the does the daily commute to manchester in the car. This affected her so much that she no longer felt safe driving the car, luckily i have just become eligible for a company car so although I wasn't planning on getting rid of the type r until June I've brought this forward and sold it to used car dealer today. Much as I love the car, I love my wife more.
