While her act of kindness didn’t go unnoticed, Helen received the opposite of a reward as she came across her car only to find it vandalized by thugs.

According to the single mum, the brutes have punctured all four of her tires while she was delivering foods to a senior in the village of Thornton in Leicestershire, England.

“Do you know what, for the past two weeks I’ve done solid response work for two villages and somebody has stabbed every single one of my tires. The car is now broken down and it was needed. I hope you’re bloody proud of yourselves!” the tearful woman said in her video.

“There were leaflets advertising the response team in my back windows and everyone has seen me out and about in Thornton, Bagworth and Stanton under Bardon.

“No other car was damaged. I think someone has deliberately targeted my car to try to stop me doing what I am doing. It is sick beyond belief. All four tires have holes in. It looks like someone has used a big screwdriver to inflict the damage.”

While Ms. Crouch was able to get enough money to replace her punctured tired via a fundraiser, the vandals have later on once again targeted her vehicle by smashing all windows and scratching its surface.

“I don’t know who did it but it could be someone who thought I was breaking the restrictions by driving in my car,” she added.

“I was doing what I could for people who can’t get to the shops or chemists but I can’t do it without my car.”
