3 incidents to share

Fellow Orang Seputeh

We have more unfortunate news.

The first is a snatch theft on Sunday night at Jalan Batu Laut 2. Two guys on a motorbike. No further details.

The second and third came in an email from a caring resident of Jln Tmn Seputeh 2 received tonight:
"
Dear all,
I would like to share the following 2 unfortunate incidents :
(1) Today at 3.30pm my brother's girlfriend was parking the car outside of the house gate when Malay motor cyclist and pillion rider smashed the tinted side wind screen and stole her hand bag placed on the passenger's seat. Luckily she was unhurt and the house keys were in the car. She freezed her credit card and duly went to make a police report in Brickfields.
I got the phone number from Maxis, Gardens (next to Isetan) which you could call to suspend your post paid hand phone tel no. Not sure if it's the same for prepaid hp no. If you're calling from handphone 012 it's free when you dial 123. For calls made from fixed line eg your house you could call 1800821123
So, remember don't put your bags on the car seat.

(2) Last Saturday, a nearby house occupant went out at 11am and by the time she return at 3pm, she discovered the house was out of electricity. As the house was newly renovated, she called the contractor who came the next day and found the house wiring was in order. Lo and behold when he checked the electrical meter box at the gate, he found the new 3 phase electrical meter was stolen. It was a hasty job as part of the electrical wiring was on the cement floor. it seems the new meter could fetch about RM 1000. Then I showed him another neighbour's meter box which was also stored at the gate pillar, but it was an old design and not worth much.

Take care!
"

Yes, dear Orang Seputeh, take care is the word.

Best regards,

Snatch Thieves: Seputeh Hits Back

Fellow Orang Seputeh,

I am happy to report that Robert Quah, SSTF chairman and SRA president, has had a meeting with Brickfields police over the recent spate of snatch thefts along our main road and especially around Jalan Taman Seputeh 1, around the U-turn at the Mid Valley loop road down to Jalan Syed Putra.

Of course, we hope to see more police action and that will be forthcoming.

Yes, we can also strike back. We are plugging the "escape holes" between the Mid Valley loop road and Jalan TS1. The Mid Valley management has agreed to help out with more materials to instal more barriers so motorcyclists cannot "ride over the barriers" or "squeeze through openings". How that will be done will be left to SSTF area volunteer (and now SRA Committee Member) Nisha to work out with Mid Valley.

Kudos to Robert and Nisha!

Best regards,
