Petty Crime South Africa All Ears

Sometimes criminals don't win. In this episode of South Africa's most important investigative podcast, we hear about a panty thief who created his own downfall and a smash and grab criminal who couldn't outrun a victim. Please note that in some cases identities have been changed to protect us from legal action.

For the first time, we bring you an episode with a story so heinous that an actor needed to be hired to portray the role of the victim. Join Phil as he uncovers a world of parole paper wielding hackers and outlandish poop bandits.

In this episode Phil set out to find out about a dodgy family member of Sa'eed who had apparently stolen two cellphones from his siblings. During the investigation Phil happened to uncover what is probably the biggest online gaming money laundering racket of our time.

It seems the South African car remains the hotspot for petty crime in South Africa. Today we meet a victim who experienced so much inconvenience that she needed help in uncovering syndicates involving the fashion police after blaming her husband for crimes that almost got committed.

For the first time an apparent 'victim' reveals herself to be a possible criminal. We invite a previous guest back to the Petty Crime help desk as we dive further into the world of music theft and piracy. We also speak to the victim of a possible hate crime who reveals himself to be something of a sleuth himself.

For the first time in his career as the world's best petty crime sleuth, Phil hones his skills of telepathy to assist someone in solving a crime. In yet another dark turn, we find ourselves exploring the interconnected underworld of vandalism, mansplaining, and taxidermy.
