Burglary

It was Monday. A blue Monday. We went to work as usual. I was invigilating examinations in school. I took out my phone to check any new SMSs from my bf.

I noticed that I had a missed call from an unknown number. And a SMS. Read it and had a shock out of my life. My hands were trembling..

The SMS read like this.. "I am Sook Ling, your housemate. Our house was burgled. Call this number ASAP."

I called the number immediately and it was my housemate's friend number. Her friend explained the situation to me briefly.

She said the an Indian burglar pried open our grill gate and did something to the bolt at the wooden door and entered our house. Took few laptops, cameras and mobile phones.

I called everyone but no one answered. Damn. I called my bf. He was shocked when I told him what happened.

We went home together. A police patrol car was seen in front of our apartment.

This is bad..

When we walked into our house, we saw four policemen with shortguns were taking the details from my housemate. My housemate was alone when the burglary happened.

According to her, the burglar crawled in through the small gap from the opened grill gate and ransacked our house without any detection. Then he realized that my housemate was at home.

He approached her room and pretended to be one of the apartment's management committee. He told my housemate that a burglar came in just now and asked if she was alone.

When my housemate answered him, he grabbed her hand and ask her to take out her valuables. Her mobile phone and camera were gone. The burglar grabbed the other 2 laptops in the living room and walked away.

My housemate was crying when she told the police what happened. An unforgettable experience.. Really pity on her. I think it affected her psychologically..

Later in the afternoon, we went to the police station to obtain the police report.

What a day.. Wondering why such thing happened to us. .
