Hi Rob I went out last night at about 12:10 because I heard a noise. There was a white bakkie with a canopy in Cook Street - the back of the canopy was open and as I looked out saw a coloured guy jump back into the back of the open canopy - the bakkie was just past your sliding gate between you and Alida but then drove off quite quickly and went down Polo Road. It was noisy - as if the exhaust needed repairing - and in fact - now that I think about it - I heard the same sound the night before - but that was in Scott Road but when I went out to look the vehicle was gone. I could not see the make of the bakkie but it was small - not a Nissan though - with a sloping front white canopy which I noted when it turned the corner into Polo road. I did'nt think much of it as I thought that the guy was just getting in for a lift.!! Sorry about that - but I do not have much confidence in reporting to the Obs Sec. - the radio communication is absolutely pathetic - by the time I explain the situation - not once - not twice but maybe after the third time they may get the gist of what is happening - then it is obviously too late as well (and let me add that they ask the most ridiculous questions when you do report something) - so out of frustration - I let things slide - slip - and so we are once again being targeted - I suppose because we are not doing our part!! Apologies for the long explanation. If we hear anything tonight - should we even try 10111 !!??? Regards Lorraine

One last night, one the night before. Since they come in the dead of night and don't actually enter the property (they do this fron the street) its difficult to know what to do (other than wait up all night!). Whoever it is must be very strong! I'll contact Orbis and ask them to keep a lookout.
