Many of us love our cars more than our partners, according to a new report.
Victim Support has carried out a study into people's relationships with their cars and some of the results will surprise many.
The research found that five per cent of drivers love their car more than their partner, while 47 per cent would feel 'personally violated' if their motor was broken into.
A total of 56 per cent of people showed that they are brave souls by saying it would take them a few days to get to grips with the fact that their car had been broken into, while some (18 per cent) say they would need a few weeks.
"Many people become very attached to their cars and get upset if they're broken into or vandalised," said Ken Madine, head of fundraising at Victim Support.
"Every year, hundreds of thousands of people become victims of car crime."
Victim Support launched the study to highlight some of the problems that victims and witnesses of crime often have to endure.
