My Mum runs a Wildlife Trust shop right on the edge of south west Wales by the landing for the boat to Skomer Island. Mostly she sells local craft peoples stuff. It's a beautiful place, people drop in and tell her about the animals, birds and plants they've seen on the islands and the cliffs, she has a big chalk board where she writes down everyone's sighting's so people know what's out there, she writes planting labels and identifies plants in the hedge outside with them, it's all pretty idyllic. 2 miles from the nearest village, 15 miles from the nearest town.
Some jerk has robbed them twice in the last 2 weeks. Robbing a charity shop to steal local peoples stuff is about as low as it gets.
Now I'm worried about her being out there almost on her own all day so far from help. I've never worried before it all was friendly and nice.
People are scum. Not all of them but enough of them to ruin it for others.
