Smashed car window
Vandalism to a car cost a Bexhill mother £70 to put right - and with seven children she says it is money she can ill afford.
Lisa Tate of Southlands Avenue parked her car near her home last Wednesday lunchtime and just over an hour later found the back window had been smashed.
She claimed Sussex Police were not interested when she reported the crime and were "no help whatsoever".
She had left the glass pieces on the ground thinking an officer would attend the scene but was instead given a crime reference number when she rang back to check.
Lisa said: "I came home from work at midday and put my car up the drive. Then I wanted to take the children out at 1.30pm and my back window had already been smashed in.
"I am cross - I have only been driving the car for four months and am paying my insurance and then someone goes and does this. I have seven kids and everything is not cheap. I couldn't believe it.
"I just feel it is unnecessary for whoever did this to do it....I was so cross because my friend gave me the car to help me out.
"Money is tight with the bills that come in without having to find another 70 for the car.
"I think it is totally wrong."
Lisa thinks it was probably youngsters messing about but is hoping that anyone with information about the incident will contact Sussex Police on 0845 60 70 999.
