Just when you let your guard down

  And i thought i was vigilant. After the break-into my neighbour's house about 1 month earlier, i would stay awake till about 4am and go to bed,though i would take a nap between 9pm-12am.  This routine was daily, until last night when i was feeling really tired and went off to bed earlier.  LO AND BEHOLD! my laptop got stolen when i woke up in the morning.  And the crime took place without the criminal even (literally) breaking into my house.  

 No doors nor locks were broken. No damage done except the one broken window pane.  Difficult to imagine how he could have stolen my laptop right. Incidentally he managed to get hold of my camera too, so i could not post any images.

My house has an outside patio after the dining hall and a sliding door (grilled and perspect/glass door) separate the outside patio. The glass door can be pushed out of the groove and slide open to the end.  Once the thug did that, he pushed a long rod thru the grillwork and shoved my laptop off the console table in dining hall. The laptop fell to the floor where he kept shoving it to the grill door.  There is a gap between the grill door and the wall at the end of the sliding doors. The thug moved inch by inch the laptop to that gap. And there it is, that's how my laptop exited my house without a break in (in the literal sense).

Though only from the compound, the damage was done.  With my laptop, the precious photographs of my little boys went along.  I can only guess the thug(s) must have come in from the belukar flanking roads 6 and 8. So be on the alert my neighbours. 

Also i did the mistake last nite by forgetting to take my laptop upstairs. So dont leave any thing (especially the portable ones) visible for them to pry.

Here's hoping everyone will be safe from these hopeless creature of earth who steal and make life miserable for people.
