A Scots woman had her disabled badge stolen during the night when thieves smashed her car window and made off with the blue document.
Jackie Hutchinson, from Edinburgh, said she was awoken during the night various times due to her car alarm going off on Torrance Park, Clermiston, but thought it was just the wind and turned it off.
While taking the bin out in the morning, she was shocked to see the drivers side window of her blue Renault was smashed and her blue badge gone, as reported by Edinburgh Live.
The 33-year-old product manager said: “The alarm went off at like 3am but I quite often leave the back window down a little as I have a dog and thought that the wind had got it so I switched the alarm off, but didn’t go out.
"It then went off again and I thought ‘the neighbours are going to hate me, but I’m not going out’.”
“Then I went out this morning, June 3, and discovered the glass all over the road and realised my badge was gone.
“There’s actually a few people in the area, including one of my friends, who say they’ve seen similar reports in the area yesterday and there was a woman round the corner that her mum’s car got broken into and her little sisters blue badge got stolen.”
After posting what had happened on a local Facebook group, people in the comments had advised Jackie to remove the badge at night or when it wasn’t in use. However, as she uses a disabled parking space near her home, it’s not as easy as that.
Using the badge due to problems with one of her knees and arthritis, Jackie says she will now have to wait up to two weeks to get a new badge sent out, although working from home means there’s no urgent need for the car.
“I’ve only lived in the house for a year so I’m not sure if it’s a hotspot for crime.
