evacuees homes robbed

Evacuees Homes Robbed.

This is another unpleasant news I heard this morning. The government already allowed some window hours for the Taal evacuees to return home. This is to prepare and clean their houses if the volcano decided not to erupt anymore. Some residents upon returning home found out that some items from their house were missing. How can anyone still think of stealing when all of this calamity happening.

I do not think this is the time to take advantage of others. Actually, we should not take advantage of other people.

That's terrible - but I don't doubt it. Opportunists are always around

. It happened recently to a friend of ours - their house almost burned down - and not even a couple days of that someone came in a looted what they could at night. People are horrible!

@rakski Isn't awful how bad people can take advantage of others at their worst time? Human nature makes me sick sometimes.

Oh my. Same thing happened to my daughter's teacher. They lost the latops in fire not because it were burnt but because when they were saving themselves, someone saved it

That is really disappointing that many still took advantage of the situation. I just hope that the one who took it would realised what he has done. This is the time where we should be helping one another and not take advantage of one another.

@rakski I guess we cannot do anything about it anymore since there was no one that guarded the place while the volcano erupted. They can just move on with the loss and nothing else.

I had already predicted that. In a lockdown, the area has no people. How can the authorities ensure the safety of the homes? The lock down is a stupid measure.

Sad to say that is an act of being lower than one can be stealing property from person who had to leave the danger zone.

I read of similar news lately, of people running from bushfire crisis, stacking up anything they could bring with them in their vehicles, only to see their cars got broken into, and things stolen etc. Sickening, those bad people...

Why do some people need to benefit at the misfortunate of others? Despicable! I hope things finally calm down for you and your country.
