So, if you are from the area and know of someone who has suddenly got a second hand PSP in the last couple of days, and you suspect they may have aquired it in an illegal manner, do the right thing and call Crimestoppers.

And if you are out on the street, make sure you don’t flaunt your PSP around - its small and light enough to be taken from you and pocketed by a thief, and the element of surprise will possibly leave you defenceless and unable to do anything about it.
