Day Light Robbery

I am not kidding when i say day light robbery. While i was at work today, i had an SMS which indicated that i failed to receive a call. When i opened it, i saw that it was from my mom's place. I was wondering why she called. And totally got a shocked when my mom picked up with a somber voice and told me that her house has been burglarised. She was only out to the hypermarket to get groceries in the morning at 11 a.m. and when she got home at 1 p.m. she got the shock of her life. They entered through the front grill by breaking the hook which the lock is hooked through to keep the door shut.

On the phone the only thing that my mom told me was they took her white gold bangles she purchased recently for rm 500. But when i got home it was disheartening to learn that they took jewellery worth a couple of thousand and much more priceless was the sentimental value to it. Some where from my grandmother to my mother and some was purchased during a memorable period of time. They even took my grandfather's coin collection. 3 books worth of it. Things which perhaps to them can buy them an extra jug of beer tonight or another flashy hand phone or even a shot of drugs perhaps. But is irreplaceable in terms of memories and sentimental value. Although i have never really had a good look at the coin books and only been vaguely aware of their existence, the knowledge that it is gone forever makes me feel sad. I can only imagine my mom's distress that all these are gone. She barely wanted to have her dinner tonight. And just because of some good-for-nothing, selfish, lazy assholes who thinks robbing people off their valuables is the best way they can live their life. I never know how some people can think that they have the rights to take other's things just because they can't seem to be arsed to work for it themselves.

To say that I am not conjurring all the ill thoughts of things that might befall them would be untrue. But then so what, its not going to change anything. So let it be left to their judgement day for them to recieve what they deserve. Or for a more instant reiteration, let their karma be the judge.

Punishment aside, the whole need for a gated community is getting out of hand though. First it was USJ 5 then USJ 11. Sooner or later we will all be living in a caged world. My mom was actually worried how having gated communities will just push the crime rates to other parts of the USJ area. Its not exactly a wholesome solution. Just pushing the shit to someone else. Apparently around her area there is already 6 to 7 break-ins. Isn't there a way we can make our community a safer place in a more holistic approach.
