Home Sweet Home?? I doubt so...

It has been a bad weekend for me and my families.. My house in JB ws broken in yesterday when we were out for some shopping.. We suffered from some monetary lost.. But nobody has been hurt.. (*Phew) However, I must said this caused a very big blow for my family.. Although we have read many cases of houses being broken in or robbed from the newspaper, we never expect this could happen to us.. I guess many people think the same way too.. "Those people became the victim because they are not careful enough".. Well, if you are thinking this way.. maybe this is time to adjust you thinking..

The case happened during the day time between 12:30pm to 5:30pm.. To some of the friends who has been to my house often, you should know that my house was right facing the main road and the traffic along the road was quite heavy.. There are cars passing by right in front of my house quite often too... But the bad thing about my house is that we have no neighbours.. The few houses next to mine are empty.. And I must say the way they broke into my house was highly "professional".. Here are some pictures showing the mess after the disaster..

As can be seen from the picture, the thief(ves) broke in from the front window.. They would have no chance to break in from the main door because it was heavily locked.. Honestly we never expect the thief(ves) could enter from the window because of the limited space and the strong fence we have installed for the window... After they successlly entered the house, they used a towel to cover the window so that the outsider would not be able to see what was happening inside.. And from the narrow gap made at the window.. we could tell that the thief(ves) must be quite skinny to enter from there...

Now.. let us talk about the efficiency of the Malaysian police force.. When we were back at home at about 5:30pmand discover about the theft, we called the nearby police station immediately.. The police patrol car arrive about 20 minutes later.. I am not complaining about this since this is faster than I had expected..

There were two policemen, one of them was carrying a long gun and lighted up a cigrette while entering my front yard..Wel.. I cannot complain this too... Maybe he was under stressed for carrying the gun... However they refuse to go into the house to take a look and after knowing that nobody got hurt they wanted us to go to make a list of lost items and make a report to the police station later.. And they just drove away..

So my father and sister went on to Ulu Tiram Police Station to make a police report at about 6:30pm.. And after that, they were asked to go to Johor Jaya Police Station to meet the inspector... So they made a trip there and came back at home only at about 8:30pm..

At the mean time.. my mum and I stayed at home and do not dare to touch anything because we thought the policemen may need to come to take the picture for record purpose.. But we were wrong.. when my father and sister were back.. they said the policemen would not take any photo of the mess and we can clean up the place.. Just that we must not touch the glass panels that the thief(ves) had take out because there might be fingerprints left behind.. Well.. if this was important... shouldn't we be receiving the instruction at the very first moment when we make the report? But I have no complaints about this too since I think this is common sense... And the sergeant told my father and sister that he will go home and take dinner and shower first.. then he would come to my house to "collect the evidence"... And indeed.. he came at about 10:30pm..

Actually after all I have no much complaints with the efficiency of the Polis Diraja Malaysia... Just that the last statement made by the sergeant again showed that the criminals had been very common and almost trivial .. and there's no need to be too alert of it.. And seems that there's nothing much they can do also.. And the sergeant even said that "Wow.. the thieves are so daring.." in view of the location of my house being so near to the main road.. And now my families are feeling so insecured to stay there.. and I am very worried about it too.. Hopefully no more such things would happen to us again.. And for you guys who staying in JB... Please be pray more.. as just being careful is not sufficient anymore....
