When leaving your home, the assurance of a security alarm usually brings peace of mind.
But in a resident from Kenmare’s case, it has just caused unnecessary effort after his home was broken into.
Kobus Snyman returned to a half empty home after he left his house armed on 24 December last year to go celebrate Christmas with his family.
“I turned the alarm on when I left my house, and I turned it off again when I arrived back at my house,” says Snyman who wants answers from his security company.
On arrival at his home on Christmas, Snyman found the gates and garage wide open and his vehicle missing.
He then contacted the security company in January in search of answers.
The security company has since failed to provide a logic explanation of the incident and the loss of the break in has set him back R350 000.
Snyman met up with the News in March in search of answers as the reports from the security company confirm the activation and deactivation of the alarm, yet there is no explanation how the robbers gained access.
His house is protected by high walls, burglar bars on his windows, security beams and a alarm system by a popular security company.
Sheets filled with information regarding the day’s activity at the house along with a letter of confirmation proves that the house was indeed armed while the robbery took place.
The News contacted the security company to find out exactly how it is possible that the house was robbed while being under their watchful eyes, however, their comment is still pending.
“I want answers,” Snyman demands.
