Do they also steal mirrors 'tattooed' with the car's reg no.?

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

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.

...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.
Am a victim twice when packed along harambee avenue.

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

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
