This is a bad news this morning. It made me feel weak and sad. Maybe I didn't lock the store tightly. The thief scattered all my things on the floor he get in the drawer. He get all the money in the cashbox. It's not that many since I didn't earn a lot this week. I have many 5 peso coins and he took it all and some paper bills.
He left all the 1 peso coin. He didn't touch our merchandise. Good thing I didn't leave the laptop there

Oh no! That's sad! It's good you didn't leave your laptop. I hope you can install a second lock and change your padlocks.

@averygirl72 if that is the case, you can still report it to your barangay or to a local police station so they are aware. The thief might attempt to rob other nearby establishments as well. Your local barangay and the police station can increase the number of patrols and police visibility in the area.

We double lock the door now. They can climb our gate so it's easy to go inside. I bring home the money now

@averygirl72 I think it is safer not to leave the money at the store.

@averygirl72 maybe you locked it but the person is desperate. Lesson learned for all to not leave money where people can be tempted. I hope your income helped that person. You will earn more soon.

@rakski Fortunately I get good sales today. I earned what he stole. The padlock is now broken. He used force to open the lock

It sounds like he was just after money since he did not take the merchandise.

Thankfully and we guess he's only one. He can steal my printer. There are lots of foods to steal but he just need money

We don't expect to recover the money. If the CCTV works will be able to identify the thief

@averygirl72 I'm glad you have good sales today. You should take your cash box home with you so it won't happen again.

That is not good! I wonder why he only took the money, even though it is good that he didn't take anything else.
