Sai Kung in my opinion is easy pickings. Lots of upper middle class expats with a false sense of security, most are HSBC premier bank account holders, why fuck around burgling a house when you can kidnap their children as they get off the private school bus in the afternoon, ransom said kid and clean out the expats premier account by a million or two. I mean come on, this is just way too attractive to pass up, literally stealing candy from a baby, with no way to protect yourself under normal circumstances.
If you have to hire body guards, then why the hell would you want to live here, thats the sort of shit that wealthier expats in the Philippines have to put up with, which is the kidnapping capital of the world.
Pretty sad state of affairs if that ended up happening here, not to mention the international backlash and pending economic tsunami it will create if confidence in HK safety for its upper middle class expat professionals is dramatically lost.
This could turn into something quite nasty unless the HK police force gets its house in order and focuses its attention and digs deep into its govt purse.. That means buying a couple of UAV's like Australia's police force hasover the past 18 months, use them to scan over Sai Kung after dark, investigate thermal image hot spots in area's that shouldnt have activity at 3 - 4am in the morning. Setting up a 24 hour manned police box in Hoi Ha, Wong Shek Pier, Lobster bay etc would dramatically improve response times also, while offering a police presence in those neighbourhoods . It would also make it a lot more effective at converging on a fleeing suspect ie triangulation.
From what I have been told by a couple of high ranking cop mates, SK Police just doesnt get enough money allocated to be able to police properly, as it is " such a small area " apparently. WHAT !
The sheer audacity is just unbelievable !

Serious question, what is with the hatred of Li Ka Shing?
And I suggest (for your personal risk management) you be careful what you say on a public forum - there has been a case on Redcafe (Man United supporters forum) where someone claimed a poster libelled him and he got a writ for the admin to give up the poster's information to sue his arse.
according to the local papers, the victim was bossini owner/founder's grand daughter ( 30 years old) , targeting the rich and wealthy, I hope there is no escalation and no further kidnappings,
even worse, if they starting kids, then the punishment should be even more harsher
