in south africa they break your window glass while u are in traffic and take away things by force, its where we are headed since we have cowed the police, they dont want to face prosecution for killing "innoccent" jobless kenyans. before when the flying squad used to fly u wouldnt pluck corner lights at the same spot twice before they stung and killed several of those monkeys.I knew of globe and museum hill but not st paul. A lady fren has just comfirmed her red xtrail was plucked both sides.


So your solution is to have fake D+ policemen shooting people in the streets?

This is a business. Every business thrives on demand and supply.

If wazua members who have cars stop buying stolen goods, then this will end. In fact, many wazua complainers on this thread can be taken to court for handling stolen goods. The evidence is in their cars.


@Alma

Can you name and shame the wazuans? You seem to have information.
You will know that you have arrived when money and time are not mutually exclusive "events" in you life!

I also witnessed this happening to a lady who just sat passively as her x-trail was stripped off her right hand side rear view mirror. It is a nuisance.


Where are the cops when we need them most? This guys should not be allowed to do this for long!
Sad


If this is happening at the doorstep of the Central Police station, it's no wonder that Baragoi and Tana have become ungovernable.

There is an open channel for storm water passing under KBC compound. This is the thieves main escape route. The time I had my side mirrors plucked andI attempted to follow the thugs, there were others on standby waiting to get into my vehicle and clean the balance. Do not leave your car unless you have a passenger in it. You can call these thieves Nairobi Half lifers.

They plus them even when they have the car reg number, I guess at that time there may not be enough light or time for them to check. I am told they can also rub off the marks. In any case the number is on the mirror and they plug the whole holder off.I am sure they can make money on that alone.

If your car broke down around there at some 'ungodly' hour, i doubt you would be safe.

A few months back a friend of mine was approaching The roundabout at St Paul's with an Avensis from Nyerere Road and was met by 3 guys on the road and one threw a stone partly smashing her windscreen. As she slowed down, one of the guys jumped in front of the car hoping she would stop. She drove on barely missing the thug.
This was 5am... there were no other cars around.

When she reported to Central Police, one of the cops asked her "Unajuaje walikua wakora?"

She obviously replied with an insult.

How things have changed around that roundabout? Back in the day while at 'The', we used to troop back to Hall 9 from Karumaindo at 3-6am and it was 100% safe. You could even walk alone in that tunnel at 3am.

Ditto!
Its just a peculiar culture developing, we would rather nip it at the bud now.


its the demand for the parts that encourages the same, if we just stop buying the stolen stuff the same will stop.
Nobody plucks side mirrors from a bmw or a merc or a jarguar or a range rover - they target specific model because the same guys who get their parts stolen run to the same guys to buy from them.

...our cops are full of shit,most of them know where this parts end huko ma grogan and kirinyaga road they never do swoops nothing they mst likely even recieve tokens from the traders of this stolen parts...they cant even station undercover cops to nab this buggers...sawa you may stop them at museum hill but they will move to another road...the IG should get people to work on this

And what were you riding behind her? A bicycle?
Or you were one of the thugs? Just asking!

We all have a weapon in our pocket, our vote you will through it away, and then continue crying.
Those people who have been in Nairobi remember that you could cough money for the fear of being sprayed with human waste.
John Gakuo brought this and many others to an end.
Give him your vote or continue crying.

I once saw in a foregn country a bill board on the side of the road with the words.. if you notice any port hole on the road please call this number .... What a relief to see such a thing in the future in Kenya...if you see any mugger call this number...ama the number will be busy throughout that it will never go through.

Back in our days the whole area from Central Police, Jeevanjee gardens, around Lifestyle, Loita street, and Grand Regency hotel was safe due to student presence through the night!
I blame it on harsh economy Pray

By the way do not try to chase them. What will you gain? You can get into more mess.

The car reg marks on the mirrors will not stop them. They value the housing more, with all the gears and cirtuitry in it.

I have seen these thugs severally along this road and I pray to Allah that one day we get a sane police patrol force.

Safe driving
