In a blog post on the Carte Blanche website, Masa wrote about the experience, calling it one of the "scariest moments" when the robbers walked into the producer's house. 

"Following that traumatic armed robbery, I personally would feel safer having CCTV cameras around. It’s unfortunately the low we have reached, that we would be willing to give up some personal privacy for safety purposes."

She continues: "Should the system work as smoothly as it currently seems to be operating, it could go a long way, provided the information is not ill-used."
