SA Crime Concern

Ive only been back in the country for four weeks and already two friends have been involved in a 'smash and grab'

This is obviously a cause for concern. However I would like to take a moment to talk about the intelligence of these 'smash and grabbers'

The first victim was my next door neighbor who had his laptop stolen from the seat next to him. The second victim was my good friend ' The Cherman' who had her handbag stolen from her seat.

So smash and grabber number one gets a laptop to the value of R10 000. Not to shabby for a three second job. I say good for him. He saw a opportunity and he took it.

Smash and grabber number two on the other hand steals a handbag from a 20 something female.... lets see what he gets out of the deal.

Lip Gloss in five fruity flavors
Birth Control Pills
Hand Cream
Emergency Sewing Kit
A empty wallet with a couple of maxed out credit cards.
Mobile Phone
Hair Straightener

Resale value around R400 ( If his lucky enough to sell the Phone and the Hair Straightener)

I mean really where is the sense and intelligence in that??? I just don't get it! So to all you would be 'smash and grabbers' out there, don't steal from females.
Your profit margin is low and its just plain rude to part a lady and her Hair Straightener!
