if examples are given, then it will defeat the object of keeping it under wraps now, would'nt it? we don't want the wrong eyes getting a refresher course. i do agree with this being a forum where one can obtain info and part with it regarding the majority of crime being committed-as you mention,it is mostly petty- but where the biggies are concerned, as Helen pointed out, one could pass the info on to the cops and let them decide whether they want to part with it. ( i am fully aware that our SAPS are tapped for man power, but Dave once mentioned that they peruse this site often. when they do that, is it not possible for them to also forward relevant info which is pertinent ?
