Of all things...

Okay, heck, I haven't recovered from last night. What a day...

My father and I were watching TV last night near my grandma's home...the TV was blaring loud (blame the plasma TV for that). Grandma went upstairs to rest..but then she heard a loud, glass-splintering noise. But then she thought it was just some normal stuff and it belonged to others, so she let it off.

Around 1/2 hour later, as we were starting to drive home, I was shocked to see Dad's car window smashed to pieces (the rear left window, passenger seat). And there were pieces of glass everywhere: at the pavements and the whole back seat. Dad decided to drive home..as we thought Mom will be at home by then. During the whole journey, the glass kept breaking...splattered across the road and in the car...and I was scared, panicky and stuff (not as exaggerated, but yeah). Dad's computer bag (with the laptop and main working files) was gone, my two bags containing college stuff and music theory books were gone too. I assume they took every single bag available...haihz. But then the EPF and SOCSO documents were saved..phew.

Then Dad decided to drive back to Grandma's and as all hell broke loose, we reached there in reasonable time. Called Grandma to look for the bags at the playground opposite...but to no avail. Grandma called the guards and told them of the incident and asked them to find my two bags...as they know the computer bag will definitely be gone. I knew they would not find mine, too...as there were files in them. Important ones.

Well, as expected, when the guards came back a while later, they said that they couldn't find the two bags. Fine. We asked the guards to hand it to Grandma once they had found the bags.

We went home to tell Mom about the whole incident. As usual, the shell-shocked Mom was jerked awake when we told her about it. Luckily I survived with my purse and handphone intact, lol.

Moral of the story:
Don't even expose your bags and precious belongings...even the thieves would check at the bottom of your car! Place it at the car boot or something...at least somewhere protected and cannot be obviously seen by the public.

EDIT: I can't use my comp for a few days...Dad's using it for temporary storage of his work. I can only get online in college...or anywhere else that has an Internet connection. Haha.
