This was the scene this morning at my sisters shop. Some scumbag thought they would try and help themselves to the till and stock she keeps in the shop.
Luckily, the incredibly heavy paving slab they used only managed to break through the outer pain of toughened glass and didn't go all the way through.
This is the second time in 18months that her shop has been hit, but she only moved in to her new premises 6 months ago.
She wasn't the only one to be targeted that evening. The dirty pieces of shit did manage to smash their way into the local Indian takeaway/restaurant. Unfortunately for the kind gentleman that owns it, they did make it through his door. They took his till, the staff tip jar (6months worth of tips) and several bottles of top shelf alcohol.
I really don't know what the world is coming too!!
As I said, fortunately they didn't make it through the reinforced door on my sisters shop, but it's the inconvenience and the fact that she is now shut on her busiest day of the week. She's now obviously shook up and paranoid they will try again at some point, plus she has to look forward to ever increasing insurance premiums through no fault of her own......
Stay safe everyone and make sure you keep your valuables safe.

Wow, things are tough for small independent businesses in my neighborhood too. My main Street used to have a quaint character to it with independent retailers and services but over the last ten years we've lost over a dozen of them going out of business. High cost of city taxes, stiff competition from big retail business and less revenue.

That is garbage, but on the bright side... her door investment paid off! That is some strong glass!
