SAMMAMISH, Wash. – Izinto zomuntu siqu ezingaphezu kuka-$50,000 zebiwe endlini yaseSammamish kanti amasela abanjwa ngekhamera – ngaphambi nje kokusika izintambo zekhebula.
Amasela ayewazi kahle uhlelo lokuphepha nokuthi angalukhubaza kanjani, okwashiya umama waseWashington ezibuza ukuthi izinhlelo zokuqapha zeRing and Nest ezidumile kungenzeka yini ukuthi azilona umzila wakho ongcono kakhulu wokuzivikela ezigebengwini.
Umuzi kaKatie Thurik endaweni ethule yaseSammamish wagqekezwa esikhathini esingaphezudlwana kwesonto eledlule. Amasela azulazula eceleni komuzi wakhe futhi athola ukufinyelela ocingweni nasezintanjeni zekhebula.
“Kwagcina kukhiphe ikhebula elakhipha amakhamera eRing kanye neNest,” echaza.
“Ngidabukile ngempela,” kusho uThurik. “Ngisho ukuthi yizinto nje, kodwa bekungeyami, futhi bayithatha.”
UThurik wayenesistimu ye-alamu kanye namakhamera, kodwa awazange enze lutho oluhle ngesikhathi i-wi-fi isingasebenzi.
“Angisho ukuthi isela elihlakaniphile ngoba alihlakaniphile noma ngeke libe amasela kwasekuqaleni, kodwa into yokuqala abazoyenza ukuya ebhokisini elingaphandle kwendlu yakho banqume izintambo zocingo banqume nezintambo,” kusho uchwepheshe wezokuphepha uMatthew Lombardi.
ULombardi ungumnikazi we-Absolute Security Alarm endaweni yaseBallard eSeattle, futhi wazi okuthile noma okubili ngokuphepha kwasekhaya.
“Ngiklama izinhlelo zokuvikela abantu, hhayi impahla,” esho. “Ukuvikela impahla kungokwemvelo. Uzobamba isela uma unesistimu efanele, noma uzobona ukuthi ubani lowo sela uma unesistimu efanele.”
Nakuba amakhamera afana ne-Nest ne-Ring angakwazisa ukuthi kwenzekani, awakwazi ukugqekezwa ngokuphelele.
“Sibabiza ngokuthi abaqaphi, abaqinisekisi,” kusho uLombardi. “Empeleni benza umsebenzi omuhle kakhulu ngaphakathi kwalokho abakwenzayo.”
“Manje konke kufanele kube endaweni yakho ukuze uma kukhona umsebenzi ungabona – umnyango wavuleka, umshini wokubona ukunyakaza waqhuma, ifasitela laphula omunye umnyango wavuleka, lowo ngumsebenzi, uyazi ukuthi kukhona umuntu ekhaya noma ebhizinisini lakho,” kusho yena.
“Uma ungafaki wonke amaqanda akho ebhasikidini elilodwa bese ubeka ukuphepha kwakho, kungenzeka kakhulu ukuthi uvikeleke,” kusho uLombardi.
UThurik wayesephakathi nokuthengisa indlu yakhe lapho kwenzeka ukugqekezwa. Kusukela lapho usethuthele endlini entsha futhi wenqaba ukuba yisisulu sokugqekezwa futhi. Uthuthukele ohlelweni lokuphepha oluqinile, ngakho-ke alikho ithuba lokuthi isigebengu singathatha ukulawula ukuphepha kwakhe.
“Mhlawumbe kuyinto edlulayo kancane kodwa kungenza ngizizwe ngikhululekile ukuhlala lapho futhi nginesivikelo sami nezingane zami,” kusho yena. “Ngokuqinisekile yiFort Knox.”
I-Crime Stoppers inikeza umvuzo wemali ofika ku-$1,000 kumuntu onolwazi oluholela ekuboshweni kwalesi sigameko sokugqekeza.
