I had a motorbike get stolen. It was a kawasaki zx9r, three weeks old, stolen in broad daylight in elsternwick (inner melbourne suburb). And it was three days before christmas. Gone vanished, never to be seen again.:(
What happened Moose??
did they just lift it up and carry it away?:eek:
Not me but my Dad, a company supplier, colleague and neighbour.
My Dad. At gun point 4AM in his house. Demanded money and jewelry. He is 65 years old.
Supplier, hijachked his wife at gun point. Stood on her bach to hold her down. (55 Old) Took a Austen Martin. The car just disapeared. Strange thing is there are not many of them here but it is gone!!!
Coleague. Whent to his gymm about 50m from police station.
Single Cab Hilux(New Model) gone.
Neighbour had a traditional wedding at his house.
Visitors cheap car parked next to my gate with guards in street.
Also gone.
Now I wonder why so many people from South Africa emigrtates.
Crime is all over but much less all over.
We are only just beginning to have those episodes here,,
stuff still gets stolen,,
but not much person to person violence ,,
not considering the population,,
Nobody escapes theft here.
Not even members of the newly lected goverment.
Last week a MEC (Member of the excecutive comitee) had her fancy Merc stolen/hijacked in her driveway of her house. She resigned due to the not following protocol of having the vehicle fitted with the necesary alarm systems. She was told it was. All was blamed on her mistakes but no mention was made about the general crime ratios and that the policing here is not sufficient. This is rich people. The very poor suffers even more person to person violence. For me all comes down to what the powers to be are prepared to do or to what extremes they are prepared to go to.
Ask any South African living in Australia and you will hear simmilar stories.
I'm not sure what the average Aussie can do for your Country Rudolf,,
Like most world troubles,, its lack of info that keeps us unaware--.
Cops reckon they would have done just that, picked it up and chucked it on a truck, then off to be parted out, usually to "track day" or race bikes.Quote:

When the cops knocked at the door & woke me up the bloke was already in the back of the paddy wagon. I felt pretty bad for him actually, so went & had a long conversation, asking him why he had decided to try to steal my bike ...

I wonder why it was stolen in the first place.
