You need to appreciate the role of the media in stemming this kind of crime. Bile against KTN is misplaced at least on yesterdays expose. The police will never be of help in these matters,most of them anyway.
On Monday,I packed behind Lifestyle to do a quick one (shopping). As me and my fiancee were about to step on the escalator,I remembered there were two laptops in the car,one in the trunk and one backseat and that I had not remove the control panel for the CD player. As a precaution,I asked her to proceed while I walked out to watch over the car since a friend had experienced the misfortune of having his car cleaned out near there. To my surprise by the time I reached the shoe shine area,there were three gentlemen near my car (two pocketing while the other one was looking near the control fascia- I think he must have been checking to see the LED emittor that signifies if the car alarm is activated). (monday was a pulic holiday so the space between mine and the next car was large enought for the fattest person I know to pass without hugging my car.
Quickly,they disappeared after being signalled that I had appeared. The signaller was someone who I believe must have been a taxi driver,or an idler using the parked taxi jallopies as a stakeout point. With no evidence I didn't bother to alert a band of cops who passed by minutes later. Man that was very fast and assuming my car did not have an alarm system,I am sure the items would have been long gone had we proceeded into the supermerket,given that my fiancee came out the supermarket 20 minutes later.
And in the case of KTN's story,there may be no sufficient evidence to convict the guys who were nabbed....my opinion. Lakini KTN walifanya kazi yao.
Guys,install alarm and always be cautious.
Everyday!
