Someone smashed the glass to the advertising billboard thingy at the bus stop near the shops. Kind of surprised the rest of the glass isn't smashed too, they just went for the bit they kept the ads in. Surprisingly they didn't even steal the ad (just a poster Blu tacked to the inside by the looks of it), just smashed the glass. Missed opportunity imo

Also, this is the same stop I got abused at a few months ago, and one of like 3 places I've ever been truly scared for my safety while I've been out. Nice to see it hasn't changed one bit (I try to avoid it now)

Edit: just got back to my hotel and there 3 cop cars + a crime scene services van parked out front. About 6 cops got in the lift with me, but they got off the floor below mine. Can't eavesdrop, but they're opposite my room pretty much (there's an internal courtyard), so I can spy. In any case, looks like somebody's having a bad dsy

She'll be right. I'm not the one that pays for the glass ๐Ÿ˜ƒ
