@ 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.
