Apologies for the silence. The universal Honey Sucker (💩🚚) made another delivery yesterday. Whilst I was chatting not even 10m away, the bakkie with Rollie in, was parked under the few trees available for shady parking, locked, window open a crack maybe 10cm. Finish what I was doing and went to the bakkie, unlocked it and saw a long stick with a fork of 2 branches at the one end. For a nanosecond I was confused and the I saw it. My cellphone charger without the cellphone attached. Long, as in 2 full days, of driving up and down trying to get reconnected with Murphy and his truck at every turn. Police cases, finding cameras that weren't dummies etc etc. At 5:20 pm I was finally back online greyer with an entirely new vocabulary. Lost all the pics that weren't even a week old as the phone was a replacement for the one whose screen stopped working and whos pics a local genius managed to transfer to the phone that got stolen 🙄🤬🤐
So some brainless cretin didn't steal a phone to sell for tik, he stole 2 days of my life and business.
I'm grateful he pulled a branch off a tree and not the knife they all carry, and that Rollie was traumatized but unharmed physically.
Not quite the end of the story yet. I went back to the company who monitor the cameras and they happily reported that they had visual footage of the thief and as soon as they had they case number they would proceed with apprehension. After he took my phone he sauntered to the corner cafe to buy himself a cooldrink for work well done... And walked directly towards the security camera who caught his ugly mug in high resolution...
I'm expecting news of his arrest soon. Sad part is the security shared with me the area he had followed me from and most likely I know him well and have probably bought him food often.
Rollie is safe
It's just a phone
Everything can be "salvaged"
Hopefully people will understand
It's not me it's this giant sewer line running past my life.
Yes, the phone shouldn't have been in the bakkie but also yes, people shouldn't take what's isn't theirs
I'll be back next week sometime I'm not feeling great mentally so I'm taking a few days to reset.

This is the stick he used to pin Rollie's throat.
I got home at 7;30 last night and found the inverter has an issue now I have no power.
I'm really sorry for everyone who is waiting. None of this my doing. I will update when able. I bought the cheapest pep phone and it has no memory so I can't get my invoice app either. All I have is WhatsApp. Please bear with me or at least whatever has decided I need more problems on top of the ones I already have.
