They were woken by their dogs barking about 3.15am in Armadale, only to discover their blue Maserati along with personal items including Kat’s handbag were stolen.
“They really weren’t stressed, rushed – they were just taking their time, having fun,” the mother of two told Today.
“It’s just such a terrible violation of your privacy, but also your safety inside your own home and to see them acting so casually as though this is no big deal is quite striking.”
The couple’s seven-year-old son Henry was refusing to sleep in his bedroom and was keeping his taekwondo medal – his most prized possession – around his neck at all times.
Dad Ben wants more to be done to tackle youth crime, especially repeat offenders.
“There’s about 20 people that make up 50 per cent of the crime in this area,” he said.
“The parents need to be held to account.
“I actually believe that if the youth re-offends, then the parent needs to actually either pay the fine or do the time.
“The families that are actually accountable for these people should have tax and other subsidy benefits and implications on them to actually stop this.”
Police are investigating the incident and said the offenders fled in the blue Maserati with the registration CDK439.
