Thanks for your observations Marc, the statistics even drilled down to
days, hours and streets where batteries were likely to be stolen next,
ONW used this to do their patrols this broke maybe the cycle when the
police where not even aware of the full extend. Majority of the thefts
were not reported and/or stats didn't mention battery but merely theft
out or from vehicle. ONW involvement with chatting, this group etc
revealed much of the real story but was likely still much less than
the reality.
Was introduced though my insurance survey work to microdots some 20
years ago by Elvey Security who are still in Observatory, it's not
only for cars but for any item, each of the billions of droplets from
a small bottle carries the finger print unique to the owner. The
technology is simple but the challenge is that the various law
enforcements are not always equipped to test (the few) stolen item and
that's due to a mass of competing products.
Don't see Human Rights as purely negative but it can take cops and ops
of the beat for hours even days if the layers decide so thus yes we
need more proof. The way forward is more willing eyes and ears as well
as a determination to report and see matters through with laying
charges and be prepared to go to court. BTW the Cops and Ops are
normally right on it and it's only has to do a couple of patrols
and/or be observant to know what's happening but yes it's the proof we
need.
Observatory has 35 kilometres of streets and one can imagine it takes
at least three cops of ops personal to monitor each km permanently,
this is where residents can play their role under the umbrella of the
ONW if we have 3 or 4 residents p/km reporting matters they observe we
will win this battle. Together we can.

Frank’s statistics are very interesting!
57 reported batteries stolen in 2011
84 in two years 2012 & 2013.
There is a new method of microdot tracing of car parts that has
improved tracking stolen goods but most of us do not know anything
about it and where one can get it done!
Anyone know?
I personally do not think we should see protection of “Human
Rights” as a negative thing that prevents acting on crime!
Protection against false accusation is a good thing.
We should not be acting without evidence to accuse people who may
not be guilty but it is time we first get the evidence and then
act! (Easier said than done!)

Marc

@ Barbara we looked last year at the increase of car breakages and
it was apparent that since the lodge picked up clients the thefts
increased. Yes the hire cars stand also out with advertisings as
well as registration number from elsewhere. Also the overseas
tenants are often way to careless by leaving items in the cars.
Suggested long ago to the previous owners to speak to Howard of
Green Elephant in regards to CCTV camera's and other precautions.
On the battery thefts this certainly picked up again and heard
various residents having lost batteries. The last spurge in
battery thefts were 57 during 2011 when Saps only knew about a
few. Once this was apparent and a few got caught the number
dropped e.g. during Oct 2011 and Dec 2013 84 batteries were
reported stolen to Obsid, ONW. Unless reported the trend may not
be obvious. Thus report, report, report even report if it was
weeks ago.
The car guards were traditionally involved in all types of crime
and don't see why it should be otherwise today, once years ago
they were removed out from Obs and crime dropped drastically but
we live in different times Human Right layers and all that.

We have a similar scenario here in James: foreign student

several houses, backpackers around the corner, several
rental cars always
parked in our road. These are often the cars which are

un-batteried or broken into. We have had an additional
problem with car
guards trying to extort exorbitant protection sums from
these travellers,
with refusal being met with a smashed window upon return.

Hallo,
Car was stolen from outside 6 Irwell Street,
Its strange that all cars that are vandalised or damaged,
broken into, and
now stolen, are those that are Hire Cars for students
staying at Makulu
Lodge.
Sometimes I think there is someone on the street who is
responsible.
I did report the theft to OBSID and the police.
Thanks.
