My parents are your typical old friendly couple who'd help anyone that'd cross their path. They unfortunately fell for the simplest trick of the book of crooks where one person distracted her asking for help while another broke in and stole her belongings. She realised and ran after them screaming and all any neighbors did standing outside, was watch. A friendly tradie who saw everything was good enough to write down everything he saw.

She's distraught intermittently crying and I fear the problem now is that you lose some good heart in the community as should she ever come across someone in need, she'll think twice about helping them. Whats happened to society? Call me naive but I mean if I was in a position to help someone, I'd do it without a second thought and I've been known to.
