Again it was mentioned in the SAPS Joint meeting, and will be placed in the media by SAPS, to look out over one another's property. Even though the perpetrator conman being the gardener, car battery changer, plumber may say they are doing it for the resident or asked to do by a neighbour etc, check it out, call VS and SAPS to also to check it out, phone or go to your neighbour or the person whose property it is, ask them if they know the person working in their garden or house or car even, or find out who the the contractor is and who is his workers are of renovation site around your property, because later tonight or in the day when you are not watching , your tools or items are being removed/stolen or borrowed on long term usage without your permission. Yikes, it's happening a lot and we are being carried away bit by bit. Join the ONW and do daytime patrols if you can, or help on night time patrols with us. Regards James
