THIS open letter may never be published but it makes me feel better writing it.

To the person who stole my bicycle from Castlepoint by shearing through two locks with a bolt cutter. For personal reasons, I won’t bore you by explaining how this has affected me.

I don’t know if you steal from your own grandmother and if not, I so wish you hadn’t thought it okay to steal from this one.

CAROL JEANES Vanguard Road, Bournemouth
