Stolen washer quickly recovered

I would like to thank all the parties involved in recovering my high pressure washer on Friday, June 26, namely Dwayne from Alpha Security, Amanda Green from the CPF and police officers Motadi and Potgieter.
At around 12.30pm, I was working at my house in the area between my garage and kitchen with both front garage doors and the side door open.
Two guys jumped over my neighbour’s front gate into my yard, came into my garage and took my high pressure washer, which is kept at the back of the garage, and literally three meters from where I was working.
Of course, I did not hear or see them, and I thank the Lord for his protection, because they could easily have attacked my wife and myself.
Instead they just took the washer and fled back the way they came in. They were spotted leaving the premises and to cut a long story short, the security companies and CPF were all alerted via community chat and the stolen article recovered. One of the suspects was arrested.
It was very encouraging to see how quickly everyone rallied together in support. My heartfelt thanks to you all once again.
