Thank you! Your point about the trolley bins is spot on and should be observed by everybody. They form the easiest of stepping stones for anybody wanting to get over a highish wall. Don't put them out the night before. Wait until the morning of the actual refuse collection.
People in Pretoria go around their neighbourhoods advising people not to put their bins out too early. In the street where friends of mine live, two elderly couples collect the emptied bins of those homeowners who are at work and take care of them until their owners come and collect them once they're back home again. ____________________________________________________________ ----- Original Message ----- From: "waterbuck" <[email protected]> To: "The Observatory Neighbourhood watch" <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, July 03, 2009 7:58 AM Subject: [obsnw] House break in Park Villa > > > A thief broke into a house on Park Villa rd this week , he entered > through the Manse lane side , but gained access from Park Villa.
