Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.I had a robbery weeks ago but the Police didn't even take finger prints, when I went to the Police station, a woman working there said perhaps they didn't think it warranted taking finger prints, I had everything that could be carried away taken.
What makes it worse, one of my neighbours across the road heard my two windows being smashed, and she phoned the police, but they said they couldn't see anything wrong, that was at 9 o'clock, but when I went home from my friend at a 1/4 to 11 everything had been stolen, and the first thing I saw was the window, smashed, so why didn't they see it?
And I was supposed to have a victim support officer to call but no one came here. I have been ill since it happened, I lost my voice, and it hasn't come back yet.
How do they expect to catch the thieves when they don't take finger prints?
from Miss E Phillips
P. S. I know you cannot do anything about it, but I am so annoyed, because I have the feeling that the thieves were in my house and the Police outside at the same time.
