Sophisticated thugs outsmarted former Bafana Bafana and Everton star midfielder Steven Pienaar's home security and made off with his bling sound system and other items.

The tsotsis broke into Pienaar's Ruimsig, Joburg west home and evaded top notch security features including an electric fence and laser beams.

According to Pienaar, whose most recent club was Bidvest Wits in the Absa Premiership, the incident happened on December 27 while he, his wife and children were fast asleep.

He said the family was still traumatised by the incident.
