Hi All, per subject line, WTF is happening , especially in Johannesburg, as some may know , i personally have had 2 X BMW GSA,s stolen in the past 2 years, but staying in Benoni, and being on a community CPFchat in Rynfield area, it would seem that bikes are stolen & reported on the group at least once per week, sometimes more,,,,,,,,,,,,, again WTF !!!
My take on this is that due to the current lawlessness /SAP failure/ ANC criminal government , there is no accountability that happens to these thieves if caught..... I mean if i shoot & kill a motorcycle thief, even if on the property where i stay, i would be up for culpable homicide/murder, so how are we meant to protect our belongings that we strive to afford . I was looking at perhaps buying another motorcycle but due to theft situation am having serious 2nd thoughts...
What is your take on this ? How do you protect your assets ?
