My 1984 peppermint green Ford Escort soft-top was stolen recently.
It sticks out like a sore thumb and when I reported the theft to Brighton Police I thought it would be found quickly. However, I have been shocked at the level of disinterest shown by the police. I have seen first-hand the police's current attitude to car theft and I'm sure the joyriders and thieves now regard this a crime with no risk of being caught.
