Neighbor's House Break In

Nowadays our society very unsafe and unsecured, everyday open up the newspapers also a lot of cases like snatch thief, break in and murder. Ohbin asked me where did I stay? I stayed at Penang Greenlane area, last time when my family first moved in, the whole neighborhood very quiet and not much cars passed by, nowadays 9 out of 10 peoples will tell you Greenlane everyday jam like hell and recently this housing area became very famous thanks to our lovely Chief Minister because his parent's house also at this area and he stayed there for few months before he moved into his official residence and I think you all also know what happen to his mum's dog last Sunday.

This quiet and peaceful housing area is not longer safe. Tuesday mid-night around 2 something my parent and my 3rd sister heard of peoples screaming, car horn and me sleeping like pig also heard of car speeding away like Formula 1 car racing. At first I also thought they heard of “砰砰” like what happen at Ohbin neighborhood but end up the true is I misinterpret their sentence. They heard peoples screaming said got gun, car horn sound and very loud car speeding away sound.

So yesterday whole day, we been guessing what happen until at night the neighbor behind my house came and told us the whole story. The owner of the house happens to be my dad childhood friend. According to him, Tuesday night only his son alone at home, about mid night 2 something his son heard of some noise so he wake up have a look and realise there are strangers inside the house so the son quickly locked himself inside the room and called the parent. This uncle and aunty don't know why so brave instead of calling police they quickly went home (not idea where are they at that time).


When they reached home they saw one car waiting outside the house (guess what car is that? is Hyundai Sonata with Johor number plate). The uncle said when they arrived the thief quickly came out from the house so the wife start to horn whiles the uncle came down from the car and chased the thieves. One thief is Indian run toward our house direction and another one run toward the car (I also a bit confused whether there is someone waiting inside the car or not) and half way chasing toward our house don't know what happen the uncle fall down and the Indian thief pull out his gun and pointed toward the uncle but luckily the thief never fire the gun. Then the partner quickly drove the car over and the Indian thief jump inside the car and speed away.

These were second time their house been broke in and toward yours surprise the house is facing the main road. The 1st time the thief climbed through the fencing and tried to unlock his car but fail so changed target. From his house jumped to next door and drove away the neighbor BMW. This time according to him, luckily they came back on time; the thief already took out the safe but didn't manage to take it. They took away laptop, DVD player and etc. I don't know when they make the Police report, he told us the police only came Wednesday morning. His house got CCTV and when they played back the CCTV, they saw the thieves straight away went upstairs to his bedroom without much delay so he suspect must be someone familiar with his house.

The uncle and aunty told us after this incident they plan to sales the house and moved to apartment and they also asked us to be more careful especially when we came back and open our auto gate. We also warned my maid to be more careful because she very forgetful always forgets to close the backdoor. She will let the door open widely and went to do her things.
