Losing one’s possessions, in whatever way, can be very traumatic, especially when they are stolen. But theft has become part of our daily lives in South Africa, and therefore we are all somehow “prepared” for becoming one of these statistics. However, when one’s property is repossessed, one feels humiliated and it is far more difficult to explain such a situation to one’s friends and family. Being unable to pay one’s debt is in the majority of cases the reason why the bank or a sheriff will repossess one’s possessions. But there are exceptions.
