ONW For you info. Please be careful out there. Helen ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lynne Croeser" <[email protected]> To: "Helen Swart" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, September 08, 2009 12:18 PM Subject: Attempted break in at 4 Gordon Road, Observatory Hello Helen I trust you well and feeling a lot better. Had a bad experience this morning with a 40 something year old coloured male jumping over my wall and trying to steal Colette's laptop. The security gate was left open as Jag likes to run outside in the front yard in the mornings. Unfortunately we did not hear the man enter. Colette heard the noise and he had attempted to take the laptop but got a fright when he heard Jag. Colette did try to chase him. He jumped back over the wall and fled. We could not catch him and thank God for small mercies he was not quick enough. This happened just after 7 this morning (8 September 2009). The laptop is worth R25 000. and is Colette's working laptop for Discovery. I must say it quite unnerving - always think it won't happen to you!!!! Lesson learnt DON"T LEAVE YOUR SECURITY GATE OPEN EVEN IF YOU HAVE A DOG OR E EVEN 2 DOGS!!!!! Just letting you know that you can get the word out. Gordon Road is ba One is left rather shaken but at a learning curve indeed and we are safe.
