ON the night of Thursday , November 20 I was walking upstairs and happened to glance out of the window.

A flash of light caught my eye and I noticed three would-be car thieves checking out two cars on the road where I live. I immediately called the police and then went to warn my neighbours whose vehicles had been targeted.

To my surprise, just as I was talking to one of the neighbours the police arrived. In this day and age when people are quick to complain I think they should also be quick to compliment. So, to the community police officers and the patrol that attended, I would like to say a huge thank you for the impressive way in which they responded.
