When people enter your territory unauthorized ..


On coming back to the apartment after Raya on 01092011 I found my apartment door unlocked and I knew straight away that there was an authorised entry, I was last in the apartment on 15082011, and after that to the best of my knowledge nobody else came in. And on opening the door I saw my internal iron grill ajar and the house was in a mess, clothings thrown everywhere in the bedroom and tables shifted.  I knew, I was burglared.

My first reaction was to leave everything as found and to go to the Police, to make a Police Report and my wife,  who was with me, went to the gatekeeper and told them about the unfortunate  incident.  The gatekeeper,   a Bangladeshi,  was in a daze,  not really knowing what had happened;  anyway there is no system at the gate and the place (till writing this) was and is still unsecured.
And at the Police Station I made my Report, got to see a Police Inspector and later he came to the apartment to ‘investigate’.
There was nothing much else that we could  do and after the Police left, we just tidied up. There was no material loss, except that my pride was deflated. We expected better security services, after all pay our monthly services fees without fail. But we are disappointed.
I replaced the font main door lock, and installed some cheap alarm at the doors.
The rest I trust to Allah SWT.
