This is a very complicted story: 

My daughter, went on the train from Obs to Clarmemont in December, in the 
morning with 2 friends. ( She wasn't allowed to use the train but she did...)
She had her brand new birthday blackberry in her bag. 
Two guys bumped into her, after they had been hanging around her closely, and 
her bb got stolen. 
She saw the guys, as they were staring at her. 

We blacklisted the BB with Vodacom.
We had no insurance. 
We did not lay a claim at police. 

Now BB have Pin numbers that are unique to the phone, not the sim card. 
Somehow, a friend of my daughter "added" my daughter's old PIN number as a 
blackberry friend. 
The person accepted - a guy calling himself "Johnnie"
This means that Vodacom doesn not do their job properly when blacklisting the 
actual phone as he is using it. 
He had a picture of himself up (see attached)

My daughter "chatted" with him on BB. I managed to send some of it quickly to 
email. Here is the conversation. (choice language, please ignore)

Amber Hoff.: Hi. F*****. That's my old phone. I have contacted vodacom. And we 
are busy tracking your ass.
Johnnie: What do yo mean dude
Amber Hoff.: You stole my phone on the train.
Amber Hoff.: And I'm getting it back.
Johnnie: What fone dude
Amber Hoff.: The one your on ****.
Johnnie: How do you mean
Amber Hoff.: You know what I mean.
Johnnie: Ok tell you what?if this phone is your phone then tell me where you 
lost it or where it was stolen from you and I can help you get your phone back 
Amber Hoff.: You can tell the cops that
Johnnie: I can help you get your phone back because I did not buy this phon as 
new so I can take you to where I bought it
Amber Hoff.: Hahaha
Johnnie: If what you are saying is true then I see no reason why you shouldn't 
because I can't use a stolen phone.I've been robbed a couple of times and I 
understand how it feels to loose your stuff from thieves 
Amber Hoff.: What dis u pay for the phone?
Johnnie: Obviously I paid cash
Amber Hoff.: How much?
Johnnie: But there has to be a guarantee that I get my money back R1300

.....

Thereafter he suggested to meet with her and to go find the guy who sold him 
the phone and get the money back .......
He repeatedly asked her to meet him. She said: I'll speak to my Dad, and he 
replied: no, no need for that, I can sort it out... 


We took the phone to the police station as this was going on.
We could lay a charge now, hassle Vodacom to locate it and try and catch him. 
This is not an easy process apparently.

However, we decided it against it, as I am scared he will find out where we 
live, who we are etc.
 The guy is obvious a criminal and god knows what else he could do. 
So the picture is here, in the hope that someone actually knows him, let me 
know, then we can maybe still take action.

Call the police, call VS and have him removed - he his trespassing. As long as 
you tolerate him sleeping there he will do it.

Water is your friend here I think - add some sweet smelling stuff to it for 
better effect think dettol or something similar!

Douse him with it he will soon move on - perhaps rig your hose so you can do it 
without having to confront him - I am sure it will not take long to be rid of 
him.
