Break-in attempt

When we (colleagues and I) arrived at the office this morning, this is what greeted us. Our grill was damaged and the padlock gone! Based on the condition of the grill, I say that the burglar(s) had struggled to pry it open but somehow did not succeed in his attempt. How fortunate for us…phew
Thank God that our grill is strong enough to hold the burglar(s). Had he/they manage to wreck the grill, all the desktops and notebooks (company’s assets as well as customers’) were long gone by then. The chances of recovery are as good as zero.

I was the last person to leave the office yesterday. As usual, before I leave, I’ll make sure every door and grills are locked. All padlocks are in place and the alarm system activated. When I left, there was nothing or nobody suspicious lurking around.

Of all the grills, only the one at our main door was tampered. No sign of forced-entry on the ground and first floor. This is the first break-in attempt since we moved our office here a few years back. Hmm…not a good start for a new year.

Okay, since there was nothing stolen, Boss said there is no need to lodge a police report. As instant security measure, we are to replace the padlocks and most likely, we will install CCTV at the main door and near the staircase ASAP.

Above all that, I thank Him that the incident happened after I left. God knows what the burglar(s) is/are capable of. I rather not go further with that thought. And from now on, I will leave the office together with the others. Whatever unfinished tasks, they just have to wait until tomorrow.

*Update *
After discussion with the directors, Boss decided to lodge a police report. Hopefully, the police will patrol the area more frequent.

Thank god, the burglar didn't break in. You are so fortunate, otherwise......

Itu dia Sherlock Holmes Pinampang at work hehehe.. Mmg byk kes pecah masuk skrg ni. Thank God nothing bad happened. Yup, i agree that your company need to install CCTV asap. Be extra careful coz the burglars might come back with more sophisticated tools. Like Choc Mint Girl bilang, lebih baik buat police report.. Take care

Nasib baik kau sudah balik time tu. I think your boss need to do police report la, sebab if you have record, the police maybe can monitor the area and prevent the same incident happened next time.

Me too lambat balik semenjak dua menjak ni, tapi bukan ada pencuri, ada benda lain pula hehe.. nanti sia blog about it when I'm free..:D

Bikin takut oo...better go back with the others kan..bikin takut juga kalau alone baru mau pulang and lock the doors. Take care
