My house was broken into

I received a call from Kathleen at 5:45 p.m. yesterday. She calmly told me someone broke into our house. Jesse's tuition money (about RM150 to RM200) was stolen.

After a few phone calls, we found out K's new HP Compaq (still under installment), an old Acer, an old Canon printer and more cash were taken away.

The padlock to the grille door was gone.

The caterer's son who sent the food noticed the house open around noon. (Although why he didn't tell us immediately remains a mystery. I would have called you if I see your house wide open.)

So, it must have happened in the morning.

A futsal court is being built in the field in front of my house. The workers are very hardworking. They work night and day. And my house can still get broken into.

I walked to the SEA Park police station to make a report. I was given the option to type the report myself. It was ok, I think I could type faster. Before I left, a Chinese couple came in to report a break in. They stay near Cheow Yang.

I was told to go to the Kelana Jaya police station since my place falls under the jurisdiction of the Kelana Jaya police station.

I went back to the office to wait for K. She dropped Jesse to his tuition class (that's near the Maybank Uptown branch, where my mom's boss was robbed in BROAD DAY LIGHT the moment he stepped out of the bank. The robbers took his car keys but didn't take his cars. We think they don't know how to drive.) We then went to the Kelana Jaya police station. It didn't take long. The Sargeant Major talked to me a bit and told me his officers would visit my house and asked me to go home first. Just when I reached the car where K was waiting, he called and asked me to lead his men to my house.

Three officers went to my house and took some pictures. Their CSI is very simple. They asked some questions, took some pictures and promised to ask around the next day. I was expecting them to dust for finger prints. The burglar went upstairs and switched on the light in my master room.

Either way, we are glad that none of us got hurt. What was lost are just possessions that can be replaced.

Collin and Mandy who were IMing with me found out first. I got immediate response from Ps Reynold, Ps Melissa, Grace, James and Jen via calls / SMS. I shared with my boss.

Brother Francis and Elder Stephen visited us separately. I understand you prayed for us during the corporate prayer. I also received calls / SMS / emails from Ps Alexa, Ps David, Dennis, Danny, Wen Jye. That shows you do care. And this is the way other can tell we are disciples of Christ.

Just tell me how I can care for you too.

We are considering the following measures:

• Installing CCTVs
• Installing alarm
• Get a dog (we do have different opinions on what dog to get)

Or perhaps I should move to somewhere like James' house. 24 security. No fools would attempt to be funny there. :) For the benefit of those who don't know, James Teo stays near a family with heavy secutity. There are always a few guards outside the house. The going out and coming back are often escorted.

Either way, the only security we can have is from Him. And this came just after I preached about Phil 4:6-7 on Sunday. We do have the peace.

Once again, thank you for your prayers and love.
