I wandered into our factory stores this afternoon to find two gentlemen attempting to remove a 40kg reel of copper wire. I enquired as to what they were doing, and as they attempted to leave with the wire one of them went out of his way to approach me and plant a right hook on the side of my face. Charming.
Others chased them off the premises and their car reg was taken. The Police were straight on it looking for the vehicle, and I've made a statement and given swabs.
So now I have a couple of cuts where my glasses dug in, and I'm likely to have a shiner tomorrow. The specs need replacing, but the company have already told me to get it sorted and give them the bill. Some of you may know my wife (Lullabelle of these parts) works at the same place, and obviously she's been upset by it. Me, I'm fine, more angry than hurt. I just don't get why he hit me - I wasn't blocking their exit and wasn't going to attempt to prevent them leaving. All he did was change the whole thing from a minor theft to Aggravated Burglary - what a twunt.
