f*^@ers

this morning, after ed had just done 2 snoozes, i heard a police siren. not a full on one, you know the one where they do a 'wooo' just to get your attention? followed by pounding on our front door.

i yell 'careful baby'. the cops enter and tell us some-one was trying to take yoghurt or something out the combi, it's open please go and check. it turns out the f*^@ers got the radio and were going through the site box filled with the guys coffee and sugar...

anyway, cop goes through to the back yard to check if they came that way. they can't see anything or anyone, they leave. "ask the old people in the bush", they recommend.

why do people do this? it just hacks me off because i've worked hard for the 'toys' i have and then some f*^@er just rips it out the dash! urrgh

here's the irony. our neighbours dogs (one has 5 of them) are barking all the time, but there was not a single peep while the car was being broken into!

it's time to move back to melkbos.

well it isn't actually like that anywhere else. ed and i spent a good deal of time driving through every street in duynefontein on saturday and we were shocked to see garage doors wide open with bikes, tools and cars inside with no-one to be seen. if i did that where i am currently living, i'd be cleared out in a matter of minutes...

It's no different anywhere else. Some bastard stole my tricked out mountain bike from outside the supermarket here in London. Outside the supermarket, in front of 20 other people, and right underneath 2 CCTV cameras.

I'm not holding onto much hope of getting it back again.

ag ya Sarah, it annoys me too! A few years back I was in a car crash and forked out some serious money to get my car fixed up again, and 2 days after I got it back, it was stolen from outside my flat!

Poverty. Survival. Greed.

it gets worse actually. i don't know how but the f*^@ers managed to break my rear triangle window. they didn't get anything, i think that's when the cops just happen to be there (thank goodness)... but i didn't notice because the focus was on ed's car break in and theft! i only noticed while driving to work this morning.

if i ever get my hands these low-lifes, i'll wring their bloody necks!
