We Got Robbed!

Not today or yesterday. It was the last month when I suddenly went MIA. I was busy then with my daughter's school activities, the reason for me being missing in action but I did not plan it to be long. The whole family attended that and that was when it happened. They got the money for the kids' tuition fee which I am supposed to pay two days after they got it. I just withdrew it two days before the incident. They left nothing (in terms of money). Good thing the daughter's room was locked with most of the gadgets. It devastated us and made me weak. We are not rich but we save this for a purpose. We are still now struggling, the reason why I was not around. I am not that mentally stable because of the stress and anxiety, I keep thinking of ways how and where to get the same amount. And I refuse to give up. The robbers, no news. We reported it but were not caught. We reported it, of course, we had our locks changed and all that stuff. No sign of so much forced entry except for one door. It is still quite difficult for me to understand it but I am trying. I am really trying to move forward but it seems really hard knowing we still need to produce more than ever. I just post this now, because maybe this is a way for me to move forward still. As of this writing, the kids are still not enrolled. Time is ticking for me, but I am hopeful. Thank you for reading this. Somehow helps me lift a bit of weight in my heart.

I am just so sorry. People need to learn to work for what they need and want, not take it from others. When you get caught up, please consider getting cameras. They will give you some peace of mind.

@rakski Are there no CCTV cameras near your home? Did the police get the fingerprints?

That's terrible. I cannot tolerate thieves. Who else besides your family knew you had that money on you? Better ask some questions.

I’m sorry to hear about your ordeal. I know how hard to save and just taken away by someone not deserving it. I know your privacy violated and that makes you feel vulnerable in your own home. Hoping and praying that you can overcome the challenges you are facing.

@rakski Thanks too. Is there any updates on the investigation about the robbery? I hope they can stop them as they will become bolder if they are not caught in time.

Oh, no. That makes me sick to my stomach. I guess no neighbors had security cameras? It is completely understandable that you are so stressed and anxious as I would be too.

It is sad to see that. Perhaps later it is better not to keep lots of cash at home. If it is OK to T/T the tutition fee, use this way is better than handing in cash. I hope these thieves will be caught.

@rakski Years ago somebody got into our house and stole some things like computers. I felt so emotionally beat up. One of the policeman pointed at my curio cabinet and said I was lucky that the nasty people didn't smash any of the china.

It already happened, so all you have to do is to borrow money from your close friends or relatives. If the amount is big, borrow at least 2 to 3 persons. Don't cry over spilled milk.

The amount is big, yes. I do not have a lot of options with relatives and family as they ousted my family a long time ago. I was not here because I was trying to look for work or anything to get money. I am upset with what happened but I know I need to move and do something

That was really an awful incident and sorry for what you have passed through. I faced the same situation once in 2019 when all my jewelry and our valuables were stolen. Then again I 2022 when robbers hypnotized me and took away whatever gold ornaments I was wearing. Nothing has been traced out by the police yet.
