what a hassle of a day..
I didn't make it to work today. We had a rather interesting event that was happening at home I just couldn't miss. We got burgled! Yes, burgled!
Here's the story...
I was getting ready to go to work in the morning, when I realised that one of the drawers in my room was opened. It was strange coz I never open that drawer. I didn't think much of it and continued to get dressed. As I was going downstairs, I noticed that ALL the drawers downstairs were open. Then I got scared, woke everyone up and we all went downstairs to check it out.
They didn't take much...just some cash in a little pouch.
They also took my laptop bag and ditched it in the park across my house when they realised my laptop wasn't in it. I had taken my laptop in to the Sony centre to get fixed the weekend prior. That was lucky.
They might have taken our bunch of house keys and garage/gate controls as well, so we had to get all our locks changed, as well as garage/gate control frequencies changed.
I rang the police before 8am, but they only arrived at 12:30pm,and got some finger printing done with the powder and the brushes. It was interesting to watch. We have a proper alarm system that's fully monitored as well, but we normally only normally turn it on when we leave the house. We were all sleeping when it happened, but now that this has happened, we'll be arming downstairs + perimeter doors/windows when we're sleeping, or even when nobody's downstairs. It's funny what it takes to make you aware - we're on the verge of paranoia at the moment.
It was such a hassle of a day.
