Criminals stealing sport from the community

Imagine not being able to watch rugby, cricket, soccer, car races, tennis, all because the sports clubs closed down due to being victimised by cheeky burglars.

Madam – After reading the article about the burglaries at the Oval Track in last week’s Advertiser, I wonder if these criminals know how their crimes affect the community as a whole?

Sure, they targeted a sporting facility, got away with a vehicle and a few other odds and ends, but if organisations such as the Oval Track closed down due to crime, what would we do?

Imagine not being able to watch rugby, cricket, soccer, car races, tennis, all because the sports clubs closed down due to being victimised by cheeky burglars.

Sports clubs such as the Oval Track are non profit based, surviving solely to entertain the community.

Stealing from a sporting organisation shows a total lack of respect for others, as the culprits put their greed before other people’s enjoyment.

Instead of breaking sports organisations down, let’s try and build them up.
