I'm just glad that I live in the place where robbers are not found. We just leave our things outside the house like bicycle, cars and anything that robbers could get if they want. Even if we are away for a long time, out things are still intact when we get home. There are also lots of robbery here in America but that is only found in big cities. It rarely happened in country areas. When I was yet in the Philippines, I am not leaving anything outside the house. Even my shoes, I would keep it because you can not find it in the morning if you leave it outside at night time. Life is so hard, that people would get anything they want in order to survive.

That is the common thinking of people when they know that somebody is in abroad they think the family has a lot of money. They don't know how hard to earn a living also abroad and that, if we send money to our families its is just enough for the things they need. They are not a millionaires because they have relatives abroad? The mentality of people outside the country is money oriented. They thought that when you marry a foreigner you become rich which is true to others but not to all. these people just don't know the reality.

we also do the same thing bebs. we go out of the house even if it is not lock,keys are in the balcony, no ones home in the day time coz everyone is working. we wonder if they were already watching the house and planned this. when we go to the police, they said becoz their children are working abroad. i married a foreigner. they thought that my parents got lots of money which is not true.

No, the only times I had break ins in my house was during the day while I was at work. In both cases, I think they were junvenilles. In the first case they only got into some Christmas candy and in the second case, they took some stereo equipments and my son's new playstation. That was pretty upsetting. We never found out who did it.

That is so scary!! At least noone was hurt. That is just too scary and I would be freaked out for a long time. put bars over windows and such.

At least you guys are all safe and unharmed, that's what counts. Do the police have any leads? I hope you had the right kind of insurance on your motorcycle!
I've never had any experiences like that - except for with small things, like my bike, car stereo, and so on - but nothing that was irreplaceable.

sad to say, no insurance for that motorcycle. it just means that life is very difficult nowadays people tend to robbed and stole in our houses. good thing, only the motorcycle was stolen. we do not have nay suspects at the moment but police already knew it.
