Disheartening and irritating incident

Being quite sometime i didn't write in my blog. Last Saturday was a bad day. Went out with my wife at about 5pm. Nobody was in the house. Did some shopping and came back home at 8.30 pm. Upon opening the front door, my wife spotted that the chairs were not in their position...moved a bit. She asked me i said i didn't pushed anything.I called my daughter she said she didn't come home from that morning. My wife rushed upstairs, she shouted we have been robbed. i rushed to the kitchen and found the window grill being damaged and back door forced open.

in my master bed room everything is in a mess like being striked by a hurricane. All the cabinets and drawers opened. Clothes,shirts, pants, underwears are pulled from the cabinte and thrown all over. all the jewellery were gone including wedding and engagement rings which was kept intact for the past 25 years.

apart from the jewellery worth more than RM70k, camcorder, laptops, external harddisk and thumb drive were all taken. Total lost aabout RM80k.

Its a disheartening incident. i pity my wife. all her lifetime savings in the form of jewelery were gone.

We always say it happens to others not us. When it happens to you, you will feel the trauma and disappointment. When my officers like Loy and Nirmal were telling their own house and apartment being broken in, i felt sad for them but i didn't experience the real feelings. But when happened to me, i can feel how they felt then.

Its been sleepless night for my wife for at least three days. Any noises heard down stairs she will ask me to go and check. She kept a long pointed knife under the bed. I hope she wont stab me mistakenly. She even asked me to get license to own a gun.
The point i'm driving is that how break-in incident can affect peoples life.
