Dear gair rhydd,
I read this week’s front page of gair rhydd and felt slightly depressed about the subject matter.
Of course, there will inevitably be crime and especially in areas with populations of largely middle class students who are seen as easy targets, the thing that gets me the most is that fact that even though students hear it over and over again, they do nothing about it.
As you pointed out in ‘Crime Continues’, another four front-page articles have been about crime in the Cathays and Roath area but it still seems that students will make the same mistakes over and over again.
Not only does it mean that their laptops and personal possessions get stolen but criminals start to think that us students are soft touches and might come for my, locked up and out of sight, laptop one day soon and don’t get me started on what it does to my contents insurance.
It’s ridiculous to think that we, as university educated people, can’t think to lock our front doors and windows and will simply let the thieves get away with it.
It isn’t difficult and I seem to manage it all of the time.
So rant over but can’t students try to not throw their stuff away?
Yours sincerely,
First year politics student
