2/8 Monday 12.15 p.m. Supermarket Car Park. The aggrieved had loaded her shopping into her car and was driving out of the car park, when a woman came up and tapped on her window. She said there is something on the back of her car. She stopped and got out to see what the woman meant. The back of the car had black felt tip scribble across the boot. She then got back in the car and drove home. When she got there, she found her wallet & contents and phone were missing.
