The cameras have an offsite monitoring system with motion sensors. So they pick motion, guys check the camera and if it shows dodgy activity then they send security guys out..

sorted :)

“So your cars been broken into, whats that gotta do with me?”

Yeah seems like you may need to find a new neighborhood, sadly.

I go back to the ‘haves and have nots’. They ‘have’ your rent/mortgage, so they could care less if you ‘have not’ your car/property. Sad state of affairs that is, is there a ‘real’ police unit that can be comissioned to patrol the area or would that still be considered a ‘security guard’?

You may be able to call the police and get them to put a car in the area. Not sure how the system works there in SA. Good luck and stay safe

Fair enough…

My gripes in the above article had more to do with the fact that when put in a position where a whole block of flats is being victimized by crime, they display such a terrible apathetic attitude. “So your cars been broken into, whats that gotta do with me?”, kinda attitude….

THATS what gets under my skin.

Perhaps when we sovle the inequities of the ‘haves’ and the ‘have nots’ peoples property won’t come up missing. but then there will always be a**holes who have nothing better to do than terrorize peoples neighborhoods.

I only make this statement because it sound like you are living in somewhat of a fortress albeit a not very well protect one.

remember doors only have locks to keep us in not to keep robbers out. ever try to kick a door in fron the outside? go look at how your door is made… its made so that it is easier to be kicked in than kicked out.

I just hope this experience hasn’t jaded you to some notion of who ‘they’ are across class and or race. that would truely be the saddest occurence here.
