"Our house has been robbed last night. =))
Yes, exact words from my twitter account. And that includes the rofl emoticon. LOL. I know I might sound weird being all too cheery and fine even if I lost two of my cellular phones, but really, it could've been worse. To give you an account of what really happened, roll VTR!
I woke up this morning and felt the sun piercing on my skin. I immediately looked for my cellular phone (Nokia 6510) to check the time because we do not have a clock at home. HAHA. (This is the reason why I'm always late. LOL) I was still half-asleep as I tried locating my ancient phone when I realized that the door was open. It is a mandate by our dear old grandma that all doors be locked so imagine my shock when I saw the door ajar. I shook my sister awake and asked her if she went out early. She gave a groggy "no". I stood up and realized (again) that my other phone (the Nokia 3310 I left plugged on the charger) was missing. It was then that I saw our kitchen knife beside our bed and a terribly filthy scarf wrapped around it. I was like OMGISHFDASKFHAHFABBQ WE'VE BEEN ROBBED! I jumped out of bed, went outside, and was greeted by bags piled on top of each other. The contents of my sister's backpack were all over the floor and all the other bags were opened inside out. I dashed into the kitchen upon seeing the main door still locked, and true enough, our backdoor was left open. As if greeting me a happy morning.
I was speechless all throughout the first three minutes. And then it hit me, MY IPOD! ALL MY FILES WERE THERE! Office files, reports, fanfics, pictures!Not to mention my Super Junior/DBSK songs and videos! I found my trapo-looking messenger bag from Thailand (haha, yes I need to mention that) sitting peacefully (and in full view) on the chair and breathed out a loud THANK YOU GOD because IT WAS STILL THERE! STILL ALIVE! Apparently, all the bags EXCEPT for the trapo-bag were taken out. They must've mistook the bag for a blanket (since it's made of cloth and it looks more of a "sako ng harina" than a bag). Thank goodness because my wallet, ATM cards, one-week allowance, and other important things were in it!
I felt grateful because just the night before, I was ranting because my headset suddenly went dead for no reason. I usually sleep with my iPod with me, blasting off on full volume so imagine my annoyance with what happened. I grudgingly put back the iPod on my trapo bag and THANK GOODNESS THAT I DID! If my headphones stayed perfectly useful last night, then I would be crying my eyes out today for the lost iPod. I mean, the robbers TOOK MY NON-MMS CELLPHONE WHICH WAS NEAR ME!
I remembered my beloved DSLR (YOU'LL HEAR OF THE MANDAY MASSACRE WITH ME AS THE PRIME MASTERMIND IF EVER THIS WAS TAKEN) and I ran to check the cabinet. We checked the cabinets but it seems like the robbers only took out what was there to see. (It's a good thing my grandmother used my camera bag as container of her passport and all personal documents since I used to leave the camera wherever I just feel like it inside the house). DEAR GRANDMOTHER, YOU ARE A LIFESAVER! My sister still has her cellphone with her (she put it under her pillow) but her wallet, which was sitting near my trapo-bag, was gone. We were worried about my grandmother's jewelry box but we do not know where it's located so we assumed that the robbers would have lesser chances of knowing where it is too! HAHA!
After the shock wore off, I took my notebook and listed the clues we've seen.
DETECTIVE'S NOTEBOOK
Clues:
1. Set of muddy footprints outside the kitchen door.
- it was unclear exactly how many people were there but we are betting that they're around 2-3 in number. Four is too many and granting that our floor is made of wood, it would've caused too much noise. It was sure, though, that there's a child involved on the crime. We've managed to note two clear foot prints.
Footprint 1
Footprint 2
We used my sister's slipper as a yardstick for measuring the footprints. Footprint 1 belongs to a man, probably around my height (5'6-5'7). Footprint 2, obviously belongs to a child.
2. The mud on the footprints is still damp to touch.
- We woke up at around six and granting that the mud is still damp, they must have broken in at around 4-5 in the morning.
3. Trail of mud on the kitchen door.
- There were no signs of forced entry but there are trails of mud on the kitchen door. And granting that the roof of our kitchen sink is detached from the roof of our house, we assumed that the child must've climbed up the roof and opened the door from inside for the rest of the gang to follow.
4. Mud prints above my cousin's Alphabet Chart.
- my grandmother, in her attempt to teach my hard-headed cousin to read, made an alphabet chart hung on the walls of the kitchen. The char is directly under a gap on the wall.
5. Traces of mud on electric wires and bits of hollow block cement under the gap.
- prior to our discovery of the child's footprint, my sister said that one possible way for the robbers to get inside the room is by using a child since we can't think of any possible way for them to get inside the house without waking us up. Apart from that, we use a latch on our bedroom door thus it wouldn't be possible to open it unless you do so from inside the bedroom. Apparently, my sister's theory is correct as seen on this evidences. The child went through the gap (again) and opened the door for the others to follow.
6. The filthy scarf, the knife, and the moist floor.
- Granting that there are few marks of muddy footprints inside the room, we assumed that the robbers used the scarf to wipe away the mud on their feet. As to the knife, I was guilty of putting it inside the room because I used it to repair the headset. However, my sister said that there's a possibility that they would use it against us had we woken up in the middle of their "activity". Apparently, these verified our initial theory that it happened around daybreak as the floor was still wet.
7. Cabinets are closed, lights still off, and trapo-bag untouched.
- granting that the incident happened around daybreak, that's precisely the time for Subuh (morning prayer). We assume that they left immediately since most of the people around our house woke up already. They didn't turn on the lights for fear that we might wake up and cause a ruckus. And because it's dark, they didn't bother checking out the cabinets (and looking for keys). This could also be a reason why they haven't noticed the bag slumped on the chair.
8. The knife outside the kitchen.
- This was the last evidence found. Even if we are guilty of bringing our own kitchen knife into the room, the presence of this knife basically proved that they do have intentions of hurting us in case we jeopardize their plan. We're betting that they have been observing us the whole time since they timed their activity when it was only my sister and I who were left alone in the house.
Apparently, all is well. I lost two phones (goodbye SUN and AdDU Smart Sim!) but it could've been worse. What's funny is that we're more worried about our grandma scolding us for all the clothes scattered on the floor than the fact that we were robbed. Haha! My sister and I were joking and goofing around saying comments like "amateur robbers" and "walang mananakaw sa bahay na ito!". HAHA! Then there's also the fact that the cellular phones lost were those created during the time of Methuselah. I mean, hello, if ever I'd break in into a house, I'll make sure I'll get more than a Nokia 3310! HAHA!
Some of our conversations include these:
It was a miracle, to be honest. It's a miracle because we were sleeping during the entire duration of the crime AND WE'RE NOT EVEN HEAVY SLEEPERS! Plus, all the windows were closed but the room isn't every bit hot. It's as if an aircon was turned on. I find my sleep last night to be very relaxing. As if someone is actually keeping me from waking up.
I honestly believe we were blessed. True, we've been robbed but honestly, nothing of real importance was lost. It could've been much, much worse.
Besides, it's not everyday that you'd get your house robbed. I mean, hopefully not everyday, that is. HAHAHA!

Me: *whispers* Men, wag ka masyado maingay baka nakikinig lang yan sila.
Men (sister): Okay. ah, Kaka Mot nasan yung posporo?
Me: *in a loud voice* ANDUN SA TABI NG ARMALITE!
Me: *upon seeing the foot prints* YUCK!
Men: YUCK! Ano ba yan, sana man lang naghugas sila ng paa!
