I'll call the guy who is doing the actually work by placing fans etc, Bruno.
Bruno took four fans from his van, left two on the footpath and carried two to the car park building entrance door. He returned to get the other two, to see someone walking away with them. Bruno was very masterful and went after the thief, who tried to explain that he thought they were left out as rubbish for a council hard rubbish collection. Bruno made the very apologetic guy carry the fans back to where they were, and noticed two small boxes with equipment missing too. 'Hand over the boxes', commanded masterful Bruno. The thief could only stammer, 'So sorry. Sorry. Sorry', as he extracted the boxes from his backpack.
I think the thief had noticed the van and hung around to see what he could grab. This is quite surprising, because while it sounds snobby, some people on the street around here are immediately identifiable as 'you don't belong here'. I've never seen anyone in our lane behind our building like that.
I was told about this Monday morning as more fans were delivered. Then I ran into the building manager. He lives in middle distance suburb from the city with a very Noble name. He had parked his car on the street outside his home Saturday night and when he went to his car to attend church on Sunday morning, it had been broken into and the building manager's work phone had been stolen, along with some paperwork and his personal keys, for his home, spare car keys and his sister's home. I hope he gave himself some 'thoughts and prayers' for himself at church.
While he is so hot, sexy as, he is fucked in the head for leaving such things in his car and on the street in the very noble suburb, or anywhere.
CCTV revealed two unidentifiable young male teens riding up on bikes, slipping something down the glass side window and the car was unlocked. It took them about about one minute, and they were orf.
Everyone seems to have problems in life. Sigh.

Very annoying. But again we have to be super careful. With car alarms I am surprised your super was robbed. Good luck on all the terror and disorder happening in your home.

Oh dear - I just read the previous post and this one and it really has been a bit of an oh dear sort of pair, hasn't it?
ReplyDeleteTouching all wood possible, but I remember living in cities and, while we do indeed have crime and unsavoury characters, we don't have the sheer volume of people to square metreage (it IS SO a word, AI overlords) perhaps. Or the value to make such thievery worthwhile.
Although we live in a - relatively- low crime area, I would never leave anything in the car overnight. Back in the1980s we drove down to Barcelona in P's little Renault 5 and parked it in the side street outside our hotel. Next morning we found the window broken and P's leather jacket gone. He hasn't made that mistake again.
ReplyDeleteIn times of shortages and loss of services, desperate people can become much bolder. I agree, though, that valuables should never be left in cars.
