hate crime and motability

Can’t see why someone would begrudge a person having a Motability car ,are they jealous of their  complaint (disease) or jealous of there the car I wonder 

Hello @jonny1 Pleased to meet you.  Unfortunately we live in a society where the emphasise is on targeting the vulnerable, the members of our community who are disadvantaged and have illness, conditions plus disability.

Understand this no one like to scare monger people but I have been on this forum a long time as a community champion and a member read the stories.

I my self had a Motability car for twenty plus years.  Before I had lost it due to the PIP debacle.

I was always careful never drew attention to myself safe as I could.. Made my self small yet felt intimidated by who ever I moved into the community.  Constant verbal and irritation plus also the other side of just adding comments and insinuations .

Had to move five times in twenty years . Even where I am now the Police Hate Unit called.

I am kind, supportive and helpful old fashioned and there are those like me with decent Christian values.  Yet my community where I live rejects me does not wish to know.

There are crimes called Mate crime which have written about on here. Basically some one befriends you innocently next your money gone your car they insist being on the insurance in form of suggestions. Also small things like food items and anything household.

Had the Police called and discussed the issues.  All I can say is there are other incidents . Please my advice just be careful.

Talking to the Police who have special units it is a good idea.  If having any problems or issues.

In all my experience this form of harassment, bullying and intimidation will continue.  Unless we stand together and become strong.

Support each other.

I do not ever feel safe and have made certain steps to ease the situation.

On line shopping, delivery of goods, prescriptions etc.  Had constant arguing, threats and all because when shopping in certain discount stores limited car parking.  For disabled a lot being said on the subject on this forum. When I was driving.

Second also use a taxi driver been useful and also feel a lot safer in their presence something to consider.  

Wear dark clothing , be aware of not speaking to strangers unless you have to. Usual members of my own age. Even then do not. Not being rude.

There are those who see disability means lack of intelligence for some reason, you tell me.  Might use that to get to you.  Had this first time with a lad in the village you got have to believe me. Charged me a fee for a taxi he ran.  £25 plus for a trip to the Doctors and back. Found out usual fare is £10 my new taxi firm told me.

Careful use of mobile phone and hide it in a secure place when out buttoned up, any indications make them the perpetrators less likely to harm you.

When finding people to do things on you home double check costs use checkatrade website please do not use a friends recommendations. Might be in conspiring with the workman as I had once.

Wanted a aerial fitted cost me over £150 , he was a friends recommendation.found out checkatrade  cost me £80 . The guy on the phone asked a quote told him the price going to have to pay.

This so called friend only recommendation charged me because the so called friend needed money and I said no.  Does happen hence the block to screen calls on my phone.

Just think all the time be safe and not draw yourself to any one.

All I can add is reiterate as my friend @CockneyRebel rebel as said.

I apologise long post this is what is happening to me. I am a small member of the community, society we live in yet there are those who are suffering like me every day.  Much worse than me.

Good to have this forum to speak what is happening.

Please take care.
