Salla... I once had my skull fractured by a shoplifter when I was in business. I caught her with 12 items (I only actually recovered 11, for some reason). She grabbed my ear and headbutted me. During the struggle, a police officer sat in his car, watching the whole thing unfold, making no attempt to come to my assistance. Members of the public stood there and watched. The resulting bruising down my face was horrendous. Then it transpired that she'd been arrested 13 times that year for shoplifting. Had the courts not slapped her wrists and turned her over so many times, I may not have ended up with those injuries.
Laughably, the CICA kindly informed me that my injuries were not severe enough to warrant any amount of compensation, even at the lowest tariff. Though I daresay my attacker had all the help she needed when she was finally incarcerated.
