Hi,
Approximately 2 years ago, a lady stole my money and disappeared into thin air. Fortunately and unfortunately, she is a coloured lady.
All I had to do and track her is the use of Apps and Facebook to get her house address and her movements. I was disappointed on reporting to the SAPS, they were even asking me if I have any leads or information on her. I thought they were the ones to carry out the investigation.
Anyway, I was the one that even gave the detective this vital information and she was subsequently arrested and plea bargain was done. However, she only returned about 23 percent of the actual money she stole from me.
Thanks for sharing this educative piece.
