Vagrants are just waiting for opportunities

Don’t come and spoil our town’s name with your ignorance! (Courier March 27).
How can two woman go for a walk on the beach, away from town, at dusk of day – and expect to be safe? This is exactly what vagrants are waiting for!
The breaking into cars – same problem. Expensive electronic equipment left inside – why? Windows and doors left open or sliding doors not protected – blame yourselves.
Our town is the best/safest in the country just don’t complain when you are responsible for your own loss.

Come now, that’s a bit harsh. Why shouldn’t people expect to feel safe, especially in a town, a tourist resort?
Yes, we need to be vigilant, but we should expect the opposite from the community safety service, the SAPS and other facilities that we are paying for, shouldn’t we? – Editor.
