Glass

I’m always sad to see the evidence that someone’s day has been ruined. I’ve seen puddles of car window glass like this a few times. Even if the media and social media reports of rampant property crime are as exaggerated as I think they are, I do have an unscientific feeling that there really is more of this kind of thing than there used to be.

Our newly elected National Party government campaigned hard on restoring law and order in a New Zealand that had been given over to criminals during a soft Labour era. Let’s see what happens: over a month has gone by and the new guys haven’t even been able to agree enough to form a governing coalition.
