A Cork man got 8 months for breaking into a vintage car, a family heirloom, causing emotional and physical damage.
A 25-year-old Cork man, Cian Higgins, was sentenced to eight months in prison after pleading guilty to breaking into a vintage 1997 Mazda convertible parked outside a home in Glanmire, causing damage to the roof and cowling.
The car, a sentimental family heirloom inherited from the victim’s late father, was meticulously maintained and held deep emotional value.
Gardaí found black gloves at the scene matching Higgins’ DNA, and the break-in, which included an attempted hotwiring, left the victim feeling vulnerable and distressed.
The court heard testimony about the lasting emotional impact and the over six months and €600 spent repairing the vehicle.
Judge Mary Dorgan presided over the case at Cork District Court, emphasizing the seriousness of the crime and the personal significance of the damaged property.
The incident highlights how property crimes involving inherited items can cause profound emotional harm.
