Car break-ins are hitting Harare hard, with thieves snatching laptops and bags from parked vehicles across the city. Police got five theft reports in a single day from businesspeople who stepped away for a few minutes. The losses ranged from Lovemore Chitsva losing his Lenovo laptop and gear worth $1,230 at VID premises in Belvedere to Same Forget Madiro getting hit for $4,000 that contained cash and a 9mm pistol.
Willmore Makonese had two MacBooks stolen while grabbing food on Herbert Chitepo Avenue. Another victim named Brendon Chiladze lost a handbag with baby stuff and money at Hellensvale Shopping Centre. The wild part is that one thief left behind a stolen 9mm pistol with 16 rounds when they grabbed other items. Assistant Inspector Faith Mapisa told drivers to stop leaving valuables in cars and suggested businesses get security guards for parking areas.
