Kredit-Haie versuchen mit Leiche eines Mannes sein Geld abzuheben
Bereits am Freitag versuchten drei Kredit-Haie in der südafrikanischen Stadt Mount Road den Rentenlohn eines verstorbenen Mannes abzuholen. Dazu verfrachteten sie den Leichnam des Pensionärs in einen Rollstuhl und nahmen ihn mit.
In der Bank sollte der 'Tote' unterschreiben. Eine Frau gab dem Kassierer gegenüber an, der Mann sei krank und wäre eingeschlafen. Sie sei eine enge Verwandte. Ein anderer gab sich als sein Cousin aus.
Nach Aufforderung, den Toten zu wecken, versuchte ein anderer Bankkaufmann den Puls des Mannes zu tasten. Da es aber kein Lebenszeichen gab, verständigten sie die Polizei. Eine Zeugin sagte am Montag aus.

Diebstahl nach Bedarf
Systematisch werden Verbrauchsartikel und Ersatzteile geklaut und in den Osten verschoben. Deutschland wird zunehmend als Ersatzteillager entdeckt. Es wird alles geklaut was leicht zu beschaffen ist und was gebraucht wird.
Das sind nicht nur Autoersatzteile. Es werden auch Zahnarztpraxen, Optiker und private Garagen beklaut. Dass in Werkstätten die Diagnosegeräte entwendet werden, ist nichts Neues. In Nürnberg wird in einer Diebstahlserie auf Großbaustellen ermittelt.
Es wurden hochwertige Bagger, Planierraupen und dergleichen entwendet. Zur Saison geraten jetzt Segelyachten und Motorboote ins Visier. Im ersten Quartal 2004 ist eine deutliche Zunahme der Diebstahlsrate zu erkennen.

LA 'on the road to Falluja'?
The LA murder rate is going up and the police chief has requested more officers. But California is broke and cannot afford to recruit.
Civil rights lawyer Connie Rice warns that with too few officers to "police humanely", parts of the city may as well be in Falluja.
Los Angeles is notorious for gang violence, but even by LA standards 2002 was gruesome. With 658 murders in just that one year, it became America's murder capital.
