More and more people are renting apartment for living in nowadays due to various reasons. They rent apartment because they can not afford the increasing housing, or because they have financial crisis or some else reasons. However, safety has become a more and more important problem or even threat for some tenants. Stealing events are taking place one by one.
One month ago, my apartment experienced a robbing event. We went out to take part in a Wedding Expo and went back very late. However, when we open the door, we just doubt whether we came in the right room or not. It was our room, which was totally in a mess. Our sofa has been turned over, bedclothes thrown everywhere, even all the clothes has been throw out from the wardrobe. I was totally scared by what happened in front of me. We checked that the thief did not steal many things from us except an e-dictionary and my jewelry. What's more surprising to us the next day was we found that the thief paint a very big word POOR on our wall. That was indeed an insult to us. We called the police and hoped the thief could be caught as soon as possible.
Another event happened to my friend Lily. She told me angrily the other day that their two laptops were stolen at night 3 days ago. They have not much money to buy their own house, and they have to rent one cheap apartment. However, the thief broken into their room at night quietly and took away their computer together with one hundred dollars. Luckily, she said that her cell phone was not taken away thanks to her iPhone Case. She explained that the thief actually had found her iPhone, which was protected by a black iPhone case that she bought on an online store: http://www.dinodirect.com/iphone-cases-f-cell-phone-pda-accessories/. However, the thief thought that the iPhone was just a very hard item, which was worthless. Then, he threw it on her chair. My friend said the iPhone was her only and most expensive item.
How dare the thieves. They even stole things from the room where people are sleeping. I even heard some people that have their own houses are also stolen by thieves. This is unbelievable and we have to do something to them. Here are some ideas to share.
First, we should make sure that both the door and windows are well locked. Generally speaking, the thieves break into the house either from the door or from the windows. If the 2 parts are well guarded, it will be hard for the thieves to take away our precious items.
Second, do not put valuable items together. If you do like this, it just provides a good way for the thieves to walk away with all your precious things. Especially, do not put your bank card together with your ID card, which includes the most important information and may be used by bad ideas.
Third, if your house were stolen by a thief, call the police as soon as possible. They are also looking for the thief probably. And your information will be of great help to them. Maybe they will find the thief by your help, thus your lost items may be found back.
In fact, we have many other ways to guard against the thief such as set up surveillance, insure your item and so on. All in all, we will get more methods than questions. At the same time, we should strengthen our education to avoid stealing.
