Laptop thief puts Bibles in pastor’s bag

'I only noticed the Bibles in my laptop bag once I arrived home'

GERRIE of Kempton Park writes:

I would like to send out a warning to all pastors and church congregations in Kempton Park and surrounding areas, especially the smaller churches where they bring their own sound system to set up and take it down again.

There was a new visitor at our congregation, Agape Fellowship Church, on November 6. He was a very helpful man and dressed in a nice suit. He offered to help take down the sound system after the service.

But then, in our presence but without being noticed, he managed to take my laptop from its bag and replaced it with two Bibles, which he took from the shelves. I only noticed the Bibles in my laptop bag once I arrived home.

“I suppose the Bibles were to replace the weight of the laptop so I wouldn’t notice it was gone.

This man has a dark complexion with a slight gap in his front two teeth. This is just a warning for all church-goers to be vigilant with their valuables and always keep an eye on them.
