In December the site concerned was advertised to be auctioned which was very good news for the local residents, however there were not many bidders and the reserve was not reached, so our problem persists.
The problem?
We live next to a property that is owned by Lyndhurst Toyota / Rand Stadium Toyota.
The owners refuse to maintain the property.
The owners store their stock of vehicles on the site - they can afford a day time security guard but nothing at night.
They allow people to squat on the site.
The good news?
I have it on good authority that Lyndhurst Toyota are going to lose their franchise, however I do not know where this leaves us - probably with two neglected properties on Johannesburg road / Pretoria road.

Rand Stadium Toyota still full of it
In June 2010, our residential complex experienced a breach of security.
This happened when two thugs entered the complex and broke into one of our units at around 02:00AM.
The owner involved was attacked however he is fought the attackers off and they escaped.
Fortunately besides some minor suturing in three places, he "only" had to deal with some discomfort while his family had to deal with the trauma.
Via the grape vine, we learned that Rand Stadium Toyota had been paying a neighbouring residential complex for electricity to run some passive infrared security sensors (movement detectors), however they had defaulted on their payments and the complex had switched them off. This had resulted in a crime spike in the area, and our complex had now become a victim.
At that stage the neglected property was in a shocking state.
Below is a collection of photographs showing the condition of the property concerned.
Mr Neil Hermann of Lyndhurst Toyota threatened me with arrest for trespassing if I visit the property again.
After much communication between ourselves and Lynhurst Toyota, there was a half hearted clean up of the site, however they neglected to spray for weeds and the problem is now worse than before.
