Abah, Ibu & ...

I know this post should be on the NEW home...but not all plan can be executed. Above that is a history that Abah & Ibu will remember for entire of our life. It is not our anniversary...but a day that we never thought will drop by in our life.

We moved in on April 24th and it's not even 2 months yet. There are a couple of boxes left to be unpacked AND valuable things can just be found on unsafe place such as dinning table. As most of the working days, Ibu and Nawal arrived first. When we were approaching the house, Ibu notice that our padlock is not there. Abah supposingly not home yet since his bike not at the parking bay. Ibu open the grill and saw the door is not close so tight (remember in the morning already had everything closed and locked). Ibu gently pushed the door and the view is NOT NICE. It is not the way I left it. The bookshelves drawers all on the floor. Nawal's books also scattered. Closed back the door and grill and called Abah.

"Where are you?"
"At the shop buying dinner"
"Our house was broke in"
"Are you sure?"
"Everything in the mess. I dare not get into the house"
"Ok, I'm coming back now"
"I'll wait downstairs"

Ibu drag Nawal back to the elevator and went down. Saw 2 guards on patrol, wave at them and tell them that our house was broken in. They go up and checked while both of us wait down there. Nawal a little bit confuse as why we still have to be down. Both of them came down again and said that there was no broke in. I was puzzled a while, but still insist that the house is not the way I left it. Ibu, Nawal and one of the guard go up again, we enter the house and I show the guard all the clothes are out of wardrobe already.

Then, the story become long enough for me to tell in details. Police report...bla bla..police came...CSI came...

List of items gone:
- Abah' new handphone, new watch, enggagement/wedding ring, laptop, car key
- Ibu's gold braclet, pasar mlm rayban, spoilt handbag, digital camera
- Nawal's gold anklet
- 2@3 hundrred cash and 6 hundred coins

Total lost in term of value, 80% under Abah. He even need to change his car key and alarm system. Which cost us until now as the changes spoilt his car wiring and make the battery drained regularly.That is the physical one...but the one of most valuable thing is the photos in Abah's laptop; Nawal's 2nd birthday party.

The impact:
- We have to take leave to tidy up the mess and buying new expensive padlock
- We spend almost another 2K to change the door, adding keys and padlock, changing Abah's car key and alarm
- We need 5 keys to enter our house instead of 2
- Ibu don't feel like buying gold anymore
- Ibu feel not secured in own house anymore
