STOLEN LAPTOPS IN NAIROBI CBD

Transcript

By now you've probably heard about the unfortunate incident that happened to Mr. Bingo Computers and his shop was robbed. My plea to everyone who is going to purchase a laptop or phone from now, this is something you should have been doing, but just make sure you're given a proper proof of purchase, which means it has the description of the item, the serial number of whatever you're buying, and the receipt or whatever document you're given as proof of purchase should have the letterhead of the shop. And if it doesn't have the letterhead and they are using the manual receipts, make sure they stamp and make sure there's a date, because these gadgets which were stolen will definitely be circulating in the market from henceforth. So just do your due diligence and pole sana Mr. Bingo.

After you buy a laptop or phone, make sure you are issued a proper proof of purchase. Make sure it has a letterhead or stamp, serial number and date of purchase. Do your due diligence. A lot of the stolen goods will be in circulation henceforth. This goes to both the resellers and end clients.
