It’s things like your case that really really piss me off - it’s disgraceful behaviour.

It makes me sick to the stomach too.

It must be many years ago that you lived there. I was there in 2005 and 2006 - I think you will find that things have changed way beyond recognition. Memories of how things used to be are nearly always sweet! R Hi Ann,

The latest one being.... having my credit card numbers used to the tune of K13000 by a so called reputable Car Hire Company in Lae, not once but twice in succession a month after I had paid and left PNG. It is now in the hands of the Law. I am not expecting positive results though. It makes me sick to the stomach that good Aussie volunteers to PNG like us just get kicked in the teeth by people who do not deserve our aid. I've had enough!!! You have done the right thing, a letter of shame. Robert,

The sort of theft in the Solomons that used to really irk me was when things were stolen becuase they could be - I had two electric guitars in Honiara - an Ibanez and a Fender Telecaster. The pickup selector knob was stolen from both of them becuase they couldn't steal the whole guitar - but they could take the plastic knob!!
