The Garstkloof dump site is closed.

Unfortunately the vagrants cannot be removed summarily.

Residents, please be on the alert and do everything you can to prevent crime. Please close your curtains early in the evenings and keep them closed while there are people working around the house. Please switch your alarm and external alarm sensor on when you are going to bed or even when you leave for a short while.

Criminals do the planning of their crime well in advance. They collect information of the residents’ routines and test the functionality of the alarm system as well as the Security company’s reaction time.They choose the safest escape routes.

Die stortingsterrein is gesluit.

Ongelukkig kan die plakkers nie summier verwyder word nie.
 
Inwoners moet voortdurend waaksaam wees en voorsorg tref om misdaad te voorkom.  Maak gerus die gordyne saans toe. Maak die gordyne toe terwyl vreemdelinge in die tuin werk.  Skakel alarms en buitesensors aan as julle gaan slaap of iewers heengaan, selfs vir die kort rukkies wat julle weggaan.
 
Inbrekers beplan `n inbraak baie deeglik. Hulle versamel vooraf inligting oor inwoners se bewegings, hulle toets die funksionaliteit van alarmstelsels en buitesensors. Hulle kyk hoe vinnig die Sekuriteitsmaatskappy opdaag. Hulle kies die beste, veiligste en vinnigste ontsnaproetes.

PLEASE NOTE

A second armed reaction vehicle have been deployed in Wingate Park, a forth Officer employed and during the night Officers Andre Theron and his colleagues are patrolling the field on the dump site side of Wingate Park.

(Our appreciation for the RHEV-Member's support and contributions to pay for all the costs of the on-foot-patrolling as well as the RHEV-BRINANT Armed Reaction patrolling (13,000 km / pm) in RHEV Wingate Park).

Gate motor Theft

Precautionary measures

A  gate motor holds a lot of monetary value and it’s not uncommon to find them disappearing overnight. Invest in a steel cage and good quality"crowbar" resistant  lock to protect it against theft.

Security Guideline on what NOT to do.

Don't leave your car open while you ring a bell at your friend's gate!  You may become a hi-jack victim

Be on the lookout.

You could become a victim of Smash and Grab. Thieves tend to break your car's window in a second at the traffic light. If you have valuable on the passenger's seat the break the window and steal it before you realize what is happening.

Tips on how to prevent car hijacking

(added 07/02/2006)

  • lace an anti-theft security sign on your vehicle indicating that your car has a security system or has
    a tracking system installed.

  • When approaching your vehicle make sure that you have your car keys close by (never in your
    hand, as this would signal to criminals that you are about to open your vehicle). Always be aware of
    your surroundings and take a good look around for any suspicious looking characters before opening
    your car door. If you notice any suspicious behaviour immediately start walking in the opposite
    direction away from your vehicle towards the nearest shop or office in the area to secure your
    safety. Call the police if the suspicious character hangs around.

  • Once in the car, lock your doors.

  • If you notice that someone is following you by car, try to keep enough distance between you and
    your pursuer to ensure adequate manoeuvrability.

  • Don't ever bring your vehicle to a standstill if you think you are being followed.

  • In case of a collision, never step outside your car. Wait for the pursuer to approach you. Then roll
    down your window slightly, just enough to speak to one another. If the situation feels suspicious
    rather drive away and alert the police via your cell phone once you are in a safe distance away.
    Don't ever step out of your vehicle.

  • Never speed towards a red light, rather approach it slowly as to avoid stopping at the red light. In
    most cases it would have turned green before you reach it.

  • If you suspect you are being followed, take a different route home. If you still haven't lost your
    pursuer, keep driving and head for your nearest police station. Do not stop your car for any reason
    as this gives your pursuer the ideal opportunity to hijack your vehicle.

  • When you are a victim of car-hijacking, don't put up a fight, just try to make as many quiet
    observations about the hijackers as possible without making them feel you are staring at them.
    Immediately after hijacking report it to the police and provide them with as many facts as you can.

  • Don't ever threaten your hijackers - chances are you or your passenger/s will end up seriously hurt
    or dead. A vehicle is replaceable, your life isn't.

The author, Chris Visser, is part of the Himalayan partnership in South Africa focussing on Tibet and recently had the privilege to be part of a Prayer journey to the country of Tibet. We had some interesting experiences. The trip was challenging and exciting at the same time. 

To learn about the country first hand can be a very depressing experience too. So much so that I could do no else but share the experience with you. I trust that the book will challenge you to take notice of the country, its people and the challenges for the gospel. Also that it may challenge you to action, even if that is by prayer alone.




The Bad news is that criminals mainly target the properties without alarms and the properties with alarms but with no or slow reaction.
