Those however are literal royal game, seeing as they roost in the JZ complex area. I stop for them in the road so they can cross.

If that was around the Bradford area there's a chance it's the same flock, but for some strange reason there seems to be e few rich people with them around here. Can you remember if it was David Hood?

Pink was used to camouflage them against cloud cover, and given Pace's history a liking for planes is hardly a surprise.

Even if they're African peafowl they aren't native to SA are they? Shouldn't you just run them over?

He showed me a picture of a murky pile of wreckage, taken at the bottom of a lake in Germany. That was some very rare aircraft he'd just bought to salvage and restore. 'Shouldn't take more than a million to sort it out' he said...

All around his games room there were pictures of assorted aircraft. 'That's an interesting collection of pictures' I said. 'It's not just a collection of pictures' he said, 'I own all those aircraft'...

Dangerous neighborhood?  or are you doing time?

Well I mean't that to be funny but maybe  it wasn't  :-[

Seriously though,  I have conisdered security bars on my basement lab's window - mostly for the times we are out of town for several days.  I live in a rural area but occasionally neighbors have had someone break into their place when they're away.

What are others doing for lab security?  Alarms?

Nope, not a Dangerous Neighborhood, a dangerous country.
I live down in Margate South Coast of South Africa (about 120km from SeanB), which is considered the retirement city of SA.
And it is the same here. In the past year we have had 7 break in's in our complex (34 Houses) surrounded with High Electric Fences.
The 'shoppers' just hop over the fences like they are nothing.

In South Africa, the Criminals are free, and we are the ones behind bars ;-)

And this happened a few days, about 5km away from where I live :

--- Quote ---Ten people were arrested this morning after they were found with heroin to the street value of more than seven million rand‚ police say.

The joint operation by Durban Hawks and National Intervention Unit members made the bust at a house in Ramsgate‚ near Margate.

The arrested suspects aged between 22 and 29 will appear in the Ramsgate Magistrate’s Court later today on a charge of dealing in drugs.

“After months of intense investigation by the Hawks‚ they uncovered a drug syndicate operating in a plush Ramsgate suburb in Margate. During the investigation it was discovered that it was a Durban based syndicate which had moved to South Coast. Investigations were completed and an intelligence driven operation was conducted‚” the SAPS said in a statement.

At about 8am this morning‚ the Hawks assisted by the National Intervention Unit armed with the search warrant raided the house and recovered about 120 000 readily packed straws of heroin and eight kilograms of unpacked heroin.

“The house was found to be a processing and packaging clandestine laboratory.”
