Heart to hub
From MS Laura Lewis
Sir we were delighted to hear that your correspondent whose hubcaps were stolen (letter November 28) did not require counseling.
However, other victims are not in advantageous position and can find even what to some would be considered the most minor crimes very distressing. They are grateful for the emotional support and practical help that Victim Support can offer.
Yours faithfully’

November 28
From MR Barrie N. Davies
Sir, some years ago, my wife and I were shopping in a supermarket when our trolley was taken from behind us by a leggy young man who ran off with it, somehow evading the checkouts. The trolley held a dilapidated and empty briefcase, a rented video and a pound of onions.
The supermarket reported the theft and the following week we were offered counselling. We wondered what could possibly be said to comfort us.
Yours sincerely
