One woman says while the petrol cost is relatively small, vehicle damage and loss of earnings mount up.
Petrol thefts from parked cars are proving costly for residents, victims have said.
She said it was the second time it had happened within two months and left her with a large bill for repairs. "I was shocked to be told by my neighbours that my petrol tank had been drilled to get out the petrol - it's the second time this happened in the past few months," Ms Maria said.She added the real financial impact was much greater, as she faced a bill of about £2,000 once she factored in the damage to her car and missing work due to not having transport.

Evidence from the first Shared Medical Appointments (SMAs) randomised controlled trial in India: SMAs increase the satisfaction, knowledge, and medication compliance of patients with glaucomaIn Shared Medical Appointments (SMAs), patients with similar conditions meet the physician together and each receives one-on-one attention. SMAs can improve outcomes and physician productivity. Yet privacy concerns have stymied adoption. In physician-deprived nations, patients’ utility from improved access may outweigh their disutility from loss of privacy. Ours is to our knowledge the first SMA trial for any disease, in India, where doctors are scarce. In a 1,000-patient, single-site, randomized controlled trial at Aravind Eye Hospital, Pondicherry, we compared SMAs and one-on-one appointments, over four successive visits, for patients with glaucoma. We examined patients’ satisfaction, knowledge, intention-to-follow-up, follow-up rates, and medication compliance rates (primary outcomes) using intention-to-treat analysis. Of 1,034 patients invited between July 12, 2016 –July 19, 2018, 1,000 (96.7%) consented to participate, and were randomly assigned to either SMAs (NSMA=500) or one-on-one appointments (N1-1=500). Patients who received SMAs showed higher satisfaction (MeanSMA=4.955 (SD 0.241), Mean1-1=4.920 (SD 0.326); difference in means 0.035; 95% CI, 0.017–0.054, p=0.0002) and knowledge (MeanSMA=3.416 (SD 1.340), Mean1-1=3.267 (SD 1.492); difference in means 0.149; 95% CI, 0.057–0.241, p=0.002) than patients who received one-on-one appointments. Across conditions, there was no difference in patients’ intention-to-follow-up (MeanSMA=4.989 (SD 0.118), Mean1-1=4.986 (SD 0.149); difference in means 0.003; 95% CI, -0.006–0.012, p=0.481) and actual follow-up rates (MeanSMA=87.5% (SD 0.372), Mean1-1=88.7% (SD 0.338); difference in means -0.012; 95% CI, -0.039–0.015, p=0.377). Patients who received SMAs exhibited higher medication compliance rates (MeanSMA=97.0% (SD 0.180), Mean1-1=94.9% (SD 0.238); difference in means 0.020; 95% CI, 0.004–0.036, p=0.013). SMAs improved satisfaction, learning, and medication compliance, without compromising follow-up rates or measured cl
