I found some horsecart boys lifting some heavily rusting steel gates over a wall at the top of I forget which road but there where economic motor spares are. I askd the guys what they thought they were doing and they calmly tried to tell me they had permisision from some cart pusher to take the steel. This was in broad daylight. I called the sector one car which arrived failry promptly and they went in to the spares shop tp find the owner. The owner came out said the gates were his and that he had not given permission for them to take the stuff and requested they put it back. I requested him to press charges but I don;t think he was interested - did not even say thank you to me. although judging by the crap he had in the little year those guys were actually doing him a favour. Nothing like an ingrate to cheer up your day! I have some pictures taken with my phone that I will put up when I get the chance. > > He predicts that the horse cart will be back and will steal the benches. > I am sure they will > If you see the horse cart call the SAPS Response vehicle of Inspector Nel. > They will be asked to leave the area. Thats not really enough they need to be incentivised not to come back - nothing like a bit of negative reinforcement to make them unwelcome or at least to think twice about being so brazen and operating in broad daylight. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Observatory Neighbourhood watch" group.
