A different thief ruined his own heist after losing focus. Instead of finishing the job, he took an unexpected rest at the scene of the crime.

Tracker South Africa advises that people must always be on high alert since thieves will always look for an easy opportunity. You must always keep your valuables out of sight while being attentive, since a thief will look for anyone who is distracted. For burglaries, it is best to evaluate the yard for anything that would help a thief such as shrubs to hide behind, trees that can be used to scale walls and even open windows. Finally, Tracker advises that residents get to know their neighbours so that it is easier to spot strangers who may be out to cause trouble.
