• 0:30
  Speaker 2: Shelley, goodness me, what happened last night?
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: So this one is seems a little bit easier to
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: take because it's not as much of a mess to
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: clean up. But they've tried to smash a glass panel.
• 0:44
  Speaker 4: With a best of brick part of a best of
• 0:47
  Speaker 4: brick and have failed there and have then just kicked
• 0:50

  Speaker 4: the break in three weeks ago.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: Shelley, goodness me.

  Speaker 1: You know it just seems to be but it's happening
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: quite regularly to you guys.
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: Well, Katie, you know, I think you know you get
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: me and I get upset, but I'm angry now.
• 1:09
  Speaker 5: Yeah, we can't get going like this and It just
• 1:14
  Speaker 5: goes to show if you're not here, if you're not
• 1:16
  Speaker 5: you're not guarding your door twenty four hours a day,
• 1:19
  Speaker 5: that people are going to just get in any way
• 1:22
  Speaker 5: they want and help themselves take what they want.
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: It's not right.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: It's not right, and you know, it's really bloody disappointing
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: in fact, and quite upsetting that you do have to
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: continue to go through this. Shelley, What did they take
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: last night?
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: Same things again, the dark spirits, a bit of rum
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: bit of bourbon wild turkey, and you see them on
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: the camera and they just look, they choose what they
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: want and then just there was three of them. They're professionals,
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: they are wearing gloves, their faith fully covered. They're out
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: of control. Honestly, they are running this town at the moment,
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: and it's breaking my heart.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: You know, the sentiment that you're conveying right now to
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: me is not you know, like you're not alone in
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: thinking that.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: I know that.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Earlier in the week we caught up with David I
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: think it was who called through two of his cars
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: had been stolen in Rosebery. We now learn the police
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: have you know, they've done a great job in terms
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: of apprehending those people. But for the first time ever,
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: we've got a situation where you know, there's people involved.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: One of those one of those people was nine years old,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: and this eighteen year old has now been done. Obviously,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: one of those offenses is recruitment of a child.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: You just think how insane that we're in.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: A situation where there is a nine year old kid
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: involved in this kind of breaking.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: Oh, that is just unbelievable. And these people, they're clever,
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: they're not dummies. They know the law, and that's why
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: they are recruiting younger people because they know that if
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: the younger ones get caught, nothing's going to happen to them,
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: not the older ones doing the crime.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: Shelly, are you feeling quite helpless at the moment.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: I'm helpless. I'm trying to figure out what we need
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: to do. I need to get a group together, other
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: business owners need to we need to get some change happening.
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: I just, you know what, this will make me upset.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: But with last robbery, it would have been my dad's
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: eighty fifth birthday, and I was trying to figure out
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: what flooding message was he trying to send me that day?
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: What is he telling me to get out of Darland. Well,
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: what's he telling me? And you know what I thought
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: was here telling me I think we should all buy
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: a shotgun. It feels like, you know, we're helpless here.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: We're really helpless at the moment.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: Oh, Shelley it you know, I think enough is enough.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: I honestly, you're you spot on, like, where's a community
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: have to actually stand up and say that this is
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: not okay? And you know, I wonder if the message
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: from your dad was actually you've got to speak up
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: because you know, maybe others aren't brave enough to sometimes
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: and you actually are. And if you don't come out
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: and let people know how you're feeling, you know, then
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: this kind of behavior just becomes acceptable and it's actually
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: not you know, the behavior that we walk past and
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: that we're allowed to happen is not okay. And I
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: know that the police are working their bloody bums off
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: trying to make sure that the community is safe, but
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: somewhere we're being let down.
• 4:37
  Speaker 6: I just feel like we've got to have a bit
• 4:39
  Speaker 6: of change, because anyway, if we can put the message
• 4:43
  Speaker 6: out that we can get together and create a group
• 4:45
  Speaker 6: and workshop this and try and try and find a
• 4:48
  Speaker 6: solution because businesses can't cope.
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: We can't cope with the financial burden. We can't cope
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: with the emotional burden. You can't sleep at night. I mean,
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: this isn't right.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: It's not over the last you know, like over those
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: last few break ins that you've had.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: Now how much you know.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: I know it's an emotional burden, there is no doubt
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: about that. But when you talk about the financial cost
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: to your business, what kind of cost has it had
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: for you?
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: Well, we are ensured.
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: At the moment, but the next thing will be that
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: insurance won't want us. They'll just say you're too high
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: a risk. You're claiming three times within three months, and
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: the total of the damage will be in excess of
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: I don't know how this door the glass, so I
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: don't know. Let's say we're around about eighty one hundred thousand,
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: So they're just going to say you're too high risk. Oh,
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: they'll put our premiums up so high we won't be
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: able to afford it.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: You know, these are the kinds of things that people
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: are going through at the moment, like yourself, a business,
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: a family. I've seen it before, but a small family
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: trying to run a business trying to you know, to
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: make your way, and these are the kinds of things
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: that are happening in those additional burdens that people you know,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: if you like me and you've got a full time job,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: that we just can't even comprehend these stress that that
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: then places on you.
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: Oh so much stress. And my hubby's been here since
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: we got the call and came straight away at one
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: o'clock and then, I mean, that's a normal day for
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: most people, you know, but you can't just go home.
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: You've got a normal day that was really meant to
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: start at five, and you've got work to do. And
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: I don't know if it's a sad thing, but these
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: people that see well they ever understand what it is
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: to buy something with their own hard earned money, Like
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: people understand what that really feels like anymore because they're
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: just helping themselves. So other people's belonging those cars in rosebery,
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: robbing houses, bottle shops. Is that is that sad? Or
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: is that just the way society is going?
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: Well, I don't think it can be, you know, or
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: we're going to end up with people wanting to leave
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: town and not wanting to stay here. We've got to,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: you know, we've got to try and put some pressure
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: on to make sure that you know that those that
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: are in positions of power understand that it's not good enough.
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree, Shelly.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: I'm really sorry that we have to you know that
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: we have to talk again today on you know, on
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: this situation for you yet again, I think you're right though,
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: you know, it's sort of it's sad, but it's it's
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: actually incredibly frustrating, and it's making people really angry.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: So angry.
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: And I think for me because I can see pass
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: that the that the mess is nowhere as considerable as
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: last time, because that was horrendous having all the broken
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: glass in our fingers and what have you. I mean,
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: that was so falon that I can see past at
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: this time and just go that something's got to change.
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: So anyone wants to get in contact with me, any
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: other business owners that this is happening too and we
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: need to get together and try and find a solution.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: Well, Shelley, if you do end up catching up with them,
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: let me know how you go. Well, we're more than
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: happy to try and spread the word for you.
