Sio kujigamba but Kuna that ka fear …
Anyone with a big shop in the ghetto huwa hapati usingizi …
Last year part one wezi walipita juu ya mabati in my shop wakafungua front door na wakabeba 32 gas cylinders nilikuwa. Nimeweka kwa shop… The cylinders had gas , so street value was around 90k … Asubuhi I reported the matter to the police post though nilijua NI umeffi tu coz hao maninjas can’t help .
Since then nikifunga shop , I galavant around to check Kama hao ma idlers wa mtaa Bado wako area… Before curfew I would be the last to leave a pub adjacent to my shop … meaning I slept kitu 4-5hrs…
Sahii Kuna curfew most dreams I get naona majabazi wakingoa milango wabebe hio malimali yote …Kwanza Jana niliwacha 49 13kg cylinders sijapata usingizi , that’s why unaona natroll huku ktalk reading n posting kujipa nguvu asubuhi ifike nijue Kama waliniosha…
Ndio naanza kuona dalili za utajiri coz juzi nilihamia one bedroom for my own safety kukopwa kopwa na maneiba pesa as if Mimi NI MCA …Sasa kijana hata nukisha nyamaa daily akiishi kwa plot ?
Weka alarms! Very loud ones. Hopefully kama unaishi karibu na duka utaiskia na utokee juu saa hii hakuna kelele mingi usiku. Business break ins have been rampat since curfew ianzie
That’s why I said mtu trustworthy. Even if he installs cameras na vitu zishaenda, what’s the use? What most thieves don’t like is direct confrontation. If they know kuna mtu analala kwa hiyo shop usiku they might think twice about stealing. I’m assuming ameweka metal doors na grills pia.
Okay…but hakuna mtu huweka mtu untrustworthy. Na mwizi ni mwizi tu how many watchmen have been killed on duty. Hii kitu haina ujanja…controll stock una wacha kwa outlet and be carefull who supplies you…hao ndio wanajua mfuko yako na your inventory…most likely pia hao wako in the mix. And dont risk your life kulala ndani wewe mwenyewe. Enda home na uwachie Mungu…atleast you live to fight another day. My 2 cents.
From the comments, I can tell most of you don’t own any stocking business. The fear of theft, fire, and looting hangs on you daily… Once you get trucks za kusupply…ukiona simu ya dereva unapata mild heart attack.
That’s true bro … The moment trucks start stopping by your shop , nawewe uko hapo ticking merchandise in … U look left n see some ninjas siting kwa vibanda idle staring at you unajiuliza maswali Kama Mia , kwanza hii mbogi inakaa kwa mama zao kazi nikukula mogokaa na kuimpregnate tusichana twa shule …ogopa hiyo jeshi …
Kuna JAMAA mmoja aliwahi shikanisha grill ya mlango na 250 voltage of electric cables , nakwambia asubuhi alipata JAMAA amekufia hapo, no one knew whether he was a thief or just someone sheltering from the heavy downpoor … JAMAA wetu Hadi waleo hajawai onekana naskia alirudi kwao nyakemichaa , hapo angekamatwa ingekuwa manslaughter
Move to a more secure building. I don’t even mean to another estate. Sometimes kwa hizo
vijiji you will find a better location/building only a few meters away. A place that could be having its own security but it’s advisable that when you come in you top up the soldier also per month- hata kama ni 1k or 2k over and above what he is getting. Mtasikizana tu. Usiogope kazi. Those informal settlements there is a lot of money to be made for the daring more than in middle class estates.
I am just wondering how impactful a CCTV is against thugs in an informal settlement. Suppose you see the ninjas on your CCTV in action at 2 am, what do you do? Call the police?
To my ideas, let OP pray that they don’t show up coz honestly, that is all he can do.
