Hi Bruno...... I feel your pain, things are getting bad, and there is only so many police and guards available.
I was willing to patrol - (fight the crime), but I was told no guns, so sorry man. . . . Hope you come right with more (guards).

Our side of Obs used to be very quiet and somehow reasonable in regards with crimes (a few car break ins, mugging the tunnels under the rails). In the past 6 months, things have gone wild over here: stolen cars, armed muggings, house break-ins, etc. Our wives and kids are not safe anymore! This week only, two armed robberies occurred 20 meters from my house, people got guns pointed at them, nearly same place, twice in a week, at 6pm! Since a year, we have hosted the horse box with security during 4 weeks. *That is all* in regards with crime prevention in our zone. And it worked perfectly well as all went quiet for 4 weeks. All we get is reactive actions... Wait to face the gun, pray to stay alive, but don't worry OBSID will help you fill the paperwork! I sincerely think OBSID needs to have more power, more patrols, more horse boxes, more contribution from the Citizen. In my own case, the past six months did cost about 60000 ZAR of stolen goods and windows replaced. Hence 10000 ZAR/month!!! I am definitely happy to increase OBSID fee by 100 or 200 or 500 Rands to avoid that in the future.
