Crime on the rise

It was on that morning of Saturday 21 September 2013 when 2 armed malay men climbed into our house from our side fence. 

Our maid had disarmed our alarm at 6.25 am and opened our main wooden door and grille.  She locked our dog, Jo in the cage and was washing floor of our car porch.  She heard Jo was barking but she checked and did not see anything.  So she continued with her chores and only realized when one of the armed man put a knife on her neck and told her to be quiet.  She then saw another man jumping in.

They told her to go inside and keep quiet.  Once the two men went upstairs, she quickly locked herself into her room.  She opened the window and started to scream for help, crying and shivering.

While me and hubby heard our Chihuahua, Yugi was barking and then footsteps.  My hubby opened our room door slightly and he saw the back of a man walking to our son's room.  He quickly closed the door and started to bang our window while I was using mobile phone to call my left and right neighbours, our nephew, Ben and sister, Angeline.  But no one was picking up their phones.  Hubby then quickly knocked on the glass window of our nephew's house and his wife, Ginny opened her room's window and this triggered their alarm. 

Meanwhile, my son, Wilson was in sleeping mode.  He thought I was opening his room door and on his room lights.  He took the comforter and covered his head.  The robber took his Samsung III smartphone and his wallet, and then woke him up.  He told my son to knock on our room door and call for us.  He was pointing a knife at Wilson.  But  the robber ran off as soon as they heard the alarm. 

We came to know that they were two men waiting outside with their motorcycle at row of houses behind us.

Thank God... no one was hurt.  And we gotten the insurance claim from our home content policy for the lost smartphone.

You could hear everywhere houses broken into whether your area is guarded or not, these robbers will just have their way!
