Robbed!

I was in my tita’s house in Las Piñas last Friday when my mother asked me to go home to comply with the requirements needed for my enrollment. I was having a second thought of coming home, thinking that it would be boring at home. My mother persuaded me to come home, so I decided to go home with my brother. Sunday night, our family watched a movie and had dinner together. During those times, we didn’t have the idea that something was happening in Las Piñas. The day after, my mom checked her phone and saw 11 missed calls from Las Piñas. My mom caught the next phone call, and it was my sister on the line. I didn’t have the idea what was happening, and my mom gave me that horrifying facial expression. I was worried, because I thought something bad happened to my sister, who is suffering from thyroid and potassium problems. After the phone call, my mom relayed the news to us: My tita’s house got robbed. Thousands worth of jewelries were stolen. The good thing is, everybody in Tita O’s house left for Mall of Asia. No one was hurt. Actually, my other tita decided to be left at home because she was having allergies and my sister wants to accompany her. Good thing they were convinced to go with everyone, because if not, they could have been killed. Why? Because the thieves equipped themselves with the gardening tools found in the laundry area, something they could use just in case somebody was left at home, and left it in every place they have inspected. God is really great, at least no one was left at home, and He didn’t permit those bad guys hurt anyone. The thieves intruded the house through the window of Tita Mar’s room. They ran into her closet and got all of her jewelries. Then, passed through the old laundry area, got the gardening tools, passed through the kitchen, went to Tita O’s room, bagged some jewelries (Thank God volt was invented!) and projector. The projector was found in the garden( I don’t know if it was done on purpose or what. . .) They also attempted to get into the old office but failed; the locks are just too good for them.

Here are some pictures of the crime scene:

Really, this event is tragic. Actually, Tita O and her family are set to leave on the 29th for Hawaii. Now, they are not quite sure if leaving is a good thing to do in this condition. We’re just thankful that no one was hurt; we just pray that everyone will be safe and that justice shall be given.
To the robber/s, our family wishes that you put your dirty earnings on good purpose. God is a witness to everything you do and justice shall be served to the ones who were deprived of it.
7th Commandment: YOU SHALL NOT STEAL.

Two mortal sins in the price of one crime.
