[2025] EWCA Crim 1115

There were two victim impact statements. One victim, Mr Gurbuz, said that the appellant's theft of their car had affected his family both emotionally and financially. The family felt very nervous at home and became obsessed with checking the outside of their home lest someone had come back. As a result, they had installed further security at a cost of £845. The other statement was from Mrs Kang, who described feeling "incredibly violated", quite apart from the fact of the inconvenience caused by the theft of their only car which she described. She too had invested in additional security at significant costs to make her and her children feel safe again.
