The victim said: “I work hard and whoever has done this has completely hurt my heart.

“I am so anxious now, and with every noise I hear outside I look, it’s terrible and I was left petrified.

“I know people are going to moan and say I shouldn’t have left things in my car but we all do it and I didn’t think someone would come and ruin my personal things like my car and take my stuff.”
