Woman scares off would-be thief

I would like to thank the woman who passed by our house in Seventh Street on June 6, and alerted us to a thief in our garage.

Send your letters to bctletters@caxton.co.za.

She was passing by on foot and rang the door bell to tell us to come quickly as there was a man in our garage trying to steal a machine (high pressure washer).

The culprit was not arrested, but the goods were recovered, thanks to her.

I didn’t get a chance to thank you then, and have no idea of who you are, but our country needs more honest people like you.

Thank you.
