Woman helping vulnerable friend with supplies returns to car to find nasty note

A woman has hit out at people being too quick to judge others during the nationwide lockdown after finding a nasty note on her car.

Sarah Crossland had parked near a vulnerable friend's home in Morley, Leeds, to drop off some shopping when she returned to an unwanted surprise.

She found a note posted through the gap in the window on to her car seat.

The anonymous note writer said they had recorded her car registration number and accused her of breaking 'the regulation lockdown'.

The government has relentlessly exhorted the public to save lives by staying at home unless they need to go out for essential shopping and take some exercise during the coronavirus pandemic, reports Leeds Live.

Dismayed by the note, Sarah posted on social media to warn people 'not to be judgemental.

She said: "Hi, Leeds folk,

"This is a public service announcement on quarantine rules and how not to be judgemental.

"I dropped some shopping off for someone vulnerable.

I did their shopping alongside my own weekly shop. I parked my car near their house. My window was slightly open due to it being warm.

"When I got back in my car, I found this passive-aggressive note on my seat."

The note said: 'I have recorded your registration number. You have no business being in this street. You have broken the regulation lockdown.'

Sarah added: "I would have been more than happy to explain what I was doing via social distancing, although I thought the shopping bags in my hand and in the car might have been a giveaway.

"Moral of the story? Don't be judgemental to people who are trying to help others ."
