UBER drivers in Sydney are selling airport jobs passengers addresses for $50 to a contact with a pool of burglars, has anyone else been approached to do this?

Uber driver dropped passengers off at the airport, then returned to rob the house, cops say. Its all over the internet

Yeah, that is just ridiculous!

However......dropping husbands off at the airport and then heading back to offer devices to the disenfranchised lady of the house is an entirely different matter.

A friend told me that he can spend up to three months of the year 'helping out', whilst numnuts is off conquering the world.

I wish it was FAKE NEWS but as "Hugh G" said its in the news in the US, we are a few weeks behind the US in this matter .
"Who is John Galt" friend is getting other benefits from it and having fun.
Unfortunately UBER X drivers are boasting about how much they are making from this. I think it is very very WRONG to pass passengers addresses to criminals, We all should UNITE and STAND UP against this, not argue with each other, surely you all agree ?

Settle down @Helpfull before you blow a gasket !

This predatory criminal type behaviour against homeowners/residents has been going on since Adam was a boy.

Every visitor, or tradesman you let into your house might take a quick inventory and checkout any burglars alarms etc. Open houses when a house is up for sale also give these guys a great opportunity for some research.

In the early 80's I worked in pubs/clubs around Newtown and Balmain. Colour TV's and Video recorders were worth a thousand dollars then. One particular enterprising gentleman had a group of lithe youths, break into houses and take inventory of the contents. He then went back to the pubs/clubs and punters could select the goods they required - the burglars then broke into the houses to procure the orders. They smashed through roofs, ripped up floorboards and smashed walls to gain entry.

The leader of this enterprise was no fool, he usually sent his goons back about 2 months later to see if he could double up and collect the new electrical goods from the insurance ! He was constantly on the move and disappeared after a few weeks. Never heard if the gang was caught.

Any ideas on how "We all should UNITE and STAND UP against this"

PS Were you a union shop-steward in a previous life ??

It is not all bad though. Sometimes we are able to capture those naughty persons, and through various methods of persuasion and disciplining, we may actually be able to put them back on the straight and narrow. To help them to a better life.

However, there are some - such as the young woman below - who seem beyond redemption. If I have had to punish her once, I have had to punish her 50 times, so she is obviously a slow learner. It seems she is back robbing my house every night when I get home. Sheesh! :rolleyes:

Seems many of us are missing out on a good revenue stream. As independent contractors, we need to top up our super and pay for our holidays somehow.

I'm surprised FUber does not do this already. Maybe they do. :thumbdown:
