WTF..... how low can you get.
 
We decided to take the grandson to Toys R Us at Malaga and get something for his first birthday.
When we returned to the car some bleeding lowlife had broken in and stolen the baby bag holding his nappies etc, but worst of all his feed that was soon due.
We must of disturbed them cos they had tried to get the baby seat too, but it was stuck by the seat belt and half hanging out.

It was bad enough for us but may of been worse if it was just a mum on their own and the seat had gone too.
Do these arseholes have no thoughts on the consequences of their thieving ?

Of course not. That's why they're arseholes. :thumbdown:
So sorry to hear this, jdr... nothing much else I can say.

That is so mean.

I know baby seats are quite expensive but stealing a baby bag !

Maybe they thought they might find a purse or wallet in it.

Hope baby has a happy first birthday.

All crime is unacceptable.:frown:

Having said that, I no of friends in Spain who currently have run out of Social Security payments, cannot find work and are currently eating in the many charity run food halls that are run in Spain for people unable to afford food.:(

In these hard times crime tends to follow that ,its possible you may have been robbed by some Eastern European`s that live in extreme poverty, maybe they needed those products for there own children.

Whilst that`s no excuse, I`d rather be robbed by someone motivated by survival rather than greed.

With Spanish media currently reporting figures of soon to be a million people nolonger entitled to benefit payments, these crimes will increase, far more than the UK.

Yes, unemployment benefit is only for a fixed time....and when it runs out, well, there will soon be lots of people having very real problems here.
With the car, apart from putting most things out of sight, we always cover the back seat (including the babies car seat) with a dark blanket, so that a passing glance into our car shows nothing.

I don't think you get the choice.

All you can do is not leave stuff on view in your car. Bags and things go in the boot. Just make your vehicle a less desirable target than the one next to it

Clearly they are affluent enough to run a car if they are nicking car seats!

The bag was covered with my new hoody jacket on the floor of the car, but they left that.

I just hope the food went to a good cause, if they just slung it I would be well pissed off, as was Cristiano when he wanted his dinner. :curse:
