Courier allegedly opens parcel to steal 3 Krugerrands

@Jan can we blame you?
When it gets to court, either Jan or apartheid will be blamed. I find it funny, how those two things are always to blame for other people's criminal acts. Like did apartheid schools teach you to be a criminal, or did Jan give you a handbook on how to commit fraud, rape and pillage? I am waiting for the day that apartheid and Jan will be blamed for the general low IQ among the general populace of this country. That's right boys and girls, Jan's your man!
 
The parcel could have been tampered with while the vehicle was in motion. The problem is that SA does not have a criminal staff database. Criminals go from one company to the next, all the while commiting criminal acts, and they get of free because the cops either don't pitch up to open cases, or make the dockets go missing as the criminals are most likely friends or family or know who to pay off. It is high time that a privately funded database be established to warn prospective employers against criminal staff. Although one cannot outright call someone a criminal without that person being convicted in a court, you may still state on the database that the person in question was dismissed for theft or fraud. Only problem is, that very soon we'll sit with a database that will exclude a good 40 million + people. It's sad to see that the courier company in question is Courier Guy as I would have expect something like this to happen to Dawn Wing or DPD Laser.
That is why I suggested in cab and in loading bay cameras.

Well, because of the increasing amount of crime committed by staff, a lot of companies are now doing this. It's sad that this is the world in which we have come to live, that people think it is OK to steal from other people, and that it is seen as no worse than walking past someone. My father told me that the ANC used to tell their supporters that it is OK to steal from white people, but now the monster they created is out of control as can be seen with the corruption in government, and the large scale thefts that occurred during the July riots.
 
Maybe we should revisit the receiver’s story.
At this point we have nothing but his word that he didn’t remove the 3 coins.
Even the sender is skeptical of the receiver given prior claims.

But again, maybe the receiver is the pope.
 
With that amount of money they should have used a real courier company. The buyer should have had to open the package in front of the couriers and check the contents and sign it off as received.
 
Sending 9x Krugerrands by any type of courier in South Africa is just crazy. Here is an amount of about R270k involved. You simply buy a R4k return airline ticket and deliver the 9 gold coins yourself to whomever.
 
This could be a scam in itself.
buy 9 coins, take 3, blame the courier for theft, insurance pays out, buyer gets additional 3 coins from seller, seller gets reimbursed from the insurance, courier insurance pays out.

So now read read the article again, wtaf does riots in kzn have to do with transaction? kzn is not even base for the buyer or seller. Blame crime, corruption, riots, EFF etc make it a huge story and get media involved.
pockets R90k worth of gold

Yeah, for all we know this could very well be fraud. Why go to such lengths to have it made public when the insurance will pay out. The hullabaloo could just as well be a smokescreen to hide a more nefarious story.

The thing is, the courier company has it stated that they do not transport good of this kind, and yet the sender sent it knowing full well that the courier company does not allow it. What's next, someone sending enrich uranium and then claiming it got lost!?
 
My customers package was completely "lost" in their system and took over 3 months to get a credit ( which does not help my cash flow to replace the product) on my account. The service during my experience was shocking

So you think other parcel don't get lost?
 
Sorry to sound callous, but sending 9 x 1oz Kruger coins by a COURIER? And one that does not insure precious cargo at that too? You were just asking for trouble. Luckily there was no loss this time.
 
Well, I suppose it is better than sending it by Post Office..................
De Beers used to move all their diamonds around via the post office....back in the day. I heard this from a retired " post office policeman".

Sounds like something open to massive abuse. What independent party is going to manage this database to make sure that only those who have been proven to legal standards to be guilty end up on the list? It would be incredibly naïve to imagine employers can be trusted to manage a database like that without major oversight.

Only problem is, that very soon we'll sit with a database that will exclude a good 40 million + people.
So you’re expecting to end up on the list too?
