It's time do your bit to try and reduce crime.....
I've just joined up to a service which is now free to residents - a true community service, with an interest to reduce crime in South Africa.
I've also joined my neighbourhood watch to try and extend my property's perimeter security.
The service is called Tagga (http://tagga.co.za/idevaffiliate/idevaffiliate.php?id=101) and aims to kill the illegal second hand market and so prevent crime.
http://www.tagga.co.za (http://tagga.co.za/idevaffiliate/idevaffiliate.php?id=101) - Tagga is a website where you can securely list serial numbers of your goods. Anyone wishing to purchase second hand goods can search the Tagga database (for free) and check if the goods have been stolen - you will then be informed who to contact to recover your items.
The Second Hand Goods Bill will soon make it compulsory for second hand dealers to search before purchasing.
Second hand dealers throughout South Africa are registering with Tagga in order to search the database to ensure that they don't lose their money through buying goods that might be stolen property.
No one can search your private details, but Tagga will advise you where you can collect those valuables that have been found or attempted to be sold!
See here for more details on how Tagga works and how to register: http://handytechtips.blogspot.com/search?q=tagga
If everyone puts their belongings on the system before they gets stolen then we can reduce crime by killing the illegal second hand goods market!
I would appreciate it if you could please circulate this info to 10 of your friends and neighbours - the more the system is used, the more crime will be reduced.
Thanks for your involvement - even if only 1 crime is prevented, we would have gained!
