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!)
Regards,
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 accomodation in
several houses, backpackers around the corner, several rental cars always
parked in our road. These are often the cars which are being stolen,
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.
