Not too far from what happened last Friday to a family business I know.
The business operates from home, fairly well secured premises.
Hubby is out servicing clients. Wife goes to the bank to draw wages. And when she returns home, the gang comes in right behind her.
Gun to head, beaten up blah blah. Forced to open the gun safe which it seems the gang knew was there - even where it was. Handgun and R6k stolen.
The nearest police station is about 300m away, and the cops get there quickly enough. Bit of a circus once they get there apparently, but last night hubby is told the police are ready to make their first arrest in the incident...
Him.
Both he and his wife have a key to the safe. Apparently as he is the licence holder of the stolen gun, only he is allowed to have a key. He's going to get arrested for criminal negligence.
If wife hadn't opened that safe, it seems near certain they would have shot her. As it was one was going to shoot her but another in the gang stopped him, apparently.
Dunno - the world seems a little f*cked up right now.
