Burgled

After just only a few weeks after I wrote this, my wife just called to inform that the house had been broken into last night.

The burglers jumped over the walls, broke open the windows, reached in with a pole or something and got the keys to the house and just got in like that by opening the door.

They took away my father-in-law's iPaq, Apple laptop and some other stuff. All these were in the living room. These people are getting bolder and bolder. My father-in-law had been working till about 2 am in the morning and my wife's grandmother was sleeping downstairs, just net to the living room. I thank God that no one was hurt.

They have already made a police report but I am not sure whether they will be ever caught. I have also noticed that whenever there is a construction going on nearby, incidences of burglaries will rise. Just happens that there is a new construction goign on near my wife's house, 'Wisma Glomac' or something near the Giant shopping centre at kelana Jaya. Is that a coincidence?

Really scary. Hope the police does something.

I am sorry to hear that. My mom keeps the keys further from the main door. Plus, grilles help. Although nothing guarantees 100% safety, at least these would impede the burglar. By the way, iPaq and Apple laptop (I am beginning to imagine PowerBook G4) - Ouch man... Geez. Don't think the police can do much though - Can the insurance company do anything?

Yes, thankfully no one was hurt. That's most important.

oh gosh... i'm sorry to hear that, adam. people are just so desperate nowadays. tsk, tsk, tsk. i believe ther's a verse or some verses from the qur'an that you can read in the house so that the house will be safe from burglars.

take care, y'all.:)

I am thankful that no one was hurt as I heard that someone nearby was slashed when he confronted the burglars.
What verse is that Babypink?

nowadays ni we can never be too careful. as people get more desperate, the stuff that they'll do will become mor and more daring. luckily no one was hurt. we should be thankful for that eh.

My father-in-law is installing motion detectors + alarm all around the house.
I am also thinking of chipping in to add some vidcams which might capture the pics of potential burglars.
