Over the last day there have been many reports on the incident I wrote of in the last blog. Many of them have been far off the mark in accuracy & others just pie in the sky.
The early reports stated that the security guard had found a body on responding to the alarm which was corrected by a police release.
Last night one media outlet claimed security had missed the intruder, when police have not released details as investigation is on going.

So what is the difference between some of that & what someone like me in this blog make statements about incidents.
Experience!
As I said in yesterday's blog, it is common for burglars to set off an alarm then return after they think everyone has left. In this case there is a large hole in the rear wall of the building, so experience tells me that it is likely once the alarm activated. The burglar has exited, watched the security patrol leave then waited sometime before re entering, not realizing that the key holder is still on site.
Burglars I have caught do not like confrontation, although when drugs are involved it changes the dynamics.

Could of the key holder & security guard missed the burglar?
Yes! As I pointed out yesterday, though the time period between alarm & call for police would tend to support the returning scenario.
But where you can find a burglar hiding would astound people & no matter how thorough a search can miss someone. When you talk to firemen about where they have found people in a burning building (in cupboards, head in toilet etc) apart from the toilet pose within the NZ Security Industry you will hear stories of similar places used.
One that springs to mind is a security guard arriving at an alarm to find nothing, but as they were leaving noticed something odd with a panel of an advertising hoarding.
So they left, but doubled back to observe.
After about five minutes suddenly the panel moved out & out slide two burglars dressed in wetsuits(in an oviously failed attempt to not set off sensors)who suddenly found themselves faced with security & police.
It could of been easily missed.

So there is a difference between sensational style media coverage with no view to facts or experience & opinions based on experience in the industry.
