Heroes - Members of the SAPS Grahamstown Detectives. Photo supplied Detectives get the better of burglars
Being burgled at home while you’re asleep is bad enough. Having your laptop stolen in that raid takes a person’s distress to another level.
For Hill 60 resident Bruce Maclean, it was catastrophic.
“The impact was devastating,” he wrote in a Facebook post. Especially as my laptop had in excess of 314 000 files.”
The burglars struck in the early hours of 17 February while the household was fast asleep. The stole two laptops, car keys, wallets, bank cards and other items.
“Morning coffee at 5.30am and the sudden realisation that life as you knew it had changed,” Maclean wrote. “I won’t elaborate on all the details, but the impact was devastating, especially as my laptop had in excess of 314 000 files.”
