Happy New Year!
I went back to KL for the Christmas holidays, and of course visited some friends in KL.
A friend that I met, told me that she had met up with some really bad incidence last month. Her house was broken in twice in 3 days. She stayed in a single storey link house with her boy friend. The thieves had broken in from the roof. When they first released that the house was broken in, they had made a police report, and the police did come and took some photos and collected some fingerprints. Nothing much had been stolen. But this was not the end, the thieve were so daring that they came for the 2nd time the day after. Even though police report had been made, this didn’t scare the thieves away! And my friend was actually in the house for the 2nd time. When she heard some noises from the ceiling when taking her bath after returning home from work, she rushed out from the bathroom and shout for help. The thieves escaped though her boy friend and some of the neighbors did rush there to help.
After this second occurrence, my friends had decided to check the roof to see if anything they could do to stop this from happening again. This had then revealed another thing that really made my friend traumatized. When her boy friend climbed up to the roof, he realized that there were a few stools on the ceiling. For those who stay in link house, you would know that there is some space in between the roof and ceiling for ventilation purpose and people can actually move around in this space. The bastards were not there at my friend’s house for stealing only, what worse was, they had some other objectives. They had actually drilled some little holes in between the ceiling boards on top of my friend’s bed room and bath rooms. Can you imagine? They were there to peep my friend through the holes. What made my friend crazy was, these bastards even brought stools up there, just like watching some shows! And they had left some empty bottles of gum too, thus, showed that there bastards were sucking gum there, getting themselves high and excited!
No doubt, it was too careless of my friend to not realize the holes on the ceiling earlier, but, who could have imagine that their own house is still not the safest place? We had heard of those hidden pin hole camera in some indecent hotels, public toilets or fitting rooms, but could you imagined, you could be watched too in your own house?
My friend had then fixed up the alarm system, sealed up the roof, installed more spotlights around the house, and what ever not to make the house ‘safer’. But, this couldn’t chase away her nightmare and fear, till not, she does not dare to go back to stay in the house. She still has the feeling that she is being watched whenever she is in the house. I do not know how long it would take for her to get rid of the fear, poor girl.
It is fortunate that my friend is not hurt in this incidence. But don’t you think our society is sick!? Everyday, we hear about snatch thief, robbery, murdering, rape case….is this place safe for us? What can we do to ensure our safety?
Anyway, don’t want to spoil you mood for the new year celebration. Wishing you & your family happy and prosperous year 2007!
Take care and I hope the Southern Taiwan earthquake doesn't affect too much of your daily life.
