Anyway we've officially had our first break-in. Our LPG tank got stolen over the weekend. It was nearly empty which made it easy to carry away. Plus we don't have neighbours on one side of our house, so it's doubly easy to get in thru the semi-jungle/empty plot of land next to us. Just as Jin's dad was nagging at us to put a chain on it before it gets nicked! Too late!
Overall Brunei is still pretty safe but I guess there's always that side you don't see as it turns dark. We are surrounded by foreign workers who don't get paid all that much, and live in pretty poor conditions and a LPG tank is worth $100 bucks - so that's easy money for sure! Now we gotta re-look our home security. I feel slightly violated! Not a good feeling knowing it was that easy to come into our backyard and take stuff. We don't leave "a lot" out there, but my clothes are always left hanging out there to dry - what if they went missing too?! I'd be in tears!
And if that wasn't enough, we have a new pest in the neighbourhood. A black cat literally jumped up through our kitchen window grills and into our house the other day! I freaked! We had nothing to keep the cat OUT. They are agile creatures! So a trip to the hardware store is in order...to get some mesh wire to drape across the window. Keep out mozzies and cats while keeping the kitchen well ventilated. hehe! Honestly - u just don't get these kinds of problems back in Spore :P
