Want to make a quick quid?

I was approached on the street tonight by a man. Scared the shit out of me.

I get out of the car and hear "Just try me... I'll put one in ya!" and I gulp. I am walking to the house from my car when I hear that. I then think, have I locked the car properly? Walking a back the guy goes

Scary Man "Hey love... love... want to make some money"
Me: "No thanks" Lock car (it was already locked)
SM: "I'll give you $400"
Me: "No thanks" (holding keys pointy end out ready to stab and scream)
SM: "I'll give you $400 is you can get me the f**k out of here...!"
Me: "Sorry..." (Fast pace to house and hastily open door and close door after watching him start knocking the door of the house he came from)

My heart was beating. Ally told me I should call the cops, and yes, I did want to. At the same time, this guy just saw me get out of my car and go to my house. What if he was to come to the house tomorrow when it is just Tara and me, after the cops have picked him up...?!

Tell you what. Redfern area can be scary sometimes.

May Karma come and bite their arse!

We just got back from a lovely walk only to discover our entire car has been vandalised. I got my jumper out of it before we left but did not see in the dark what had been done.

Keys have been taken to the front window, the driver's window, the bonnet, the doors, the boot. They have completely ruined the pain and the glass.

It is a mess.

This follows on from the window being smashed in a couple of months ago. They have it in for us.

I have been told that there were lots of people next door at 3 am last night... but no witnesses to our car.

I doubt Ally will call the cops because the cops cannot do anything.

Fuckers.

I am so upset. I just want to leave Sydney. Get away. Find somewhere were at least our belongings will be somewhat left alone.

How can we sell our car now (our plan sometime in the next 12 months) and upgrade a bit... we just lost out probably a $1000 in value!

Fuckers!!

I just want to hurt someone. I feel so unsafe here now. How can I raise my child here?!!

I am so distraught, yet I cannot even cry.
