A Bad Day

At school today Pooh looked dejected, she said today was just a bad day for her!

Eventhough my project work looks like it was already finished since Sunday, we actually had a lot of final-touch to do and were at the school until 1am. Then Pooh's phone rang, she picked up and soon shouted out that her aunt's house was burgled and rushed out. Big had to send both Pooh and myself to pickup the cars as we parked outside. I followed Pooh home to pick up her mom before heading towards her aunt's house which's not far from ours, I followed to keep her company.

The burglar went in from 2nd floor window, they professionaly cut the wrought iron and bent it open, searched all cabinets in every bedrooms. In one room they got the safebox out, nicely cracked it open, got out all the gold and jewelry boxes. They took the time to open each box and took only the content of it instead of conveniently taking the small boxes with them. There were gold & diamond rings from her Bro's wedding and also a wad of cash. My friend estimated it was over a million baht worth stolen.

The policemen who were at the house when we arrived didn't give a very good impression, one of them was even drunk and tried to chat me up!!! That's absolutely disgusting! Luckily Pooh's brother and her other relatives reached the scene and finally a more proper team of police also arrived. They just took photos and didn't do much that night, even left the window the way it was! Just promised that they will come for a walk-through the field behind the house in the morning!

All in all, there's no hope of getting the stuff back. No insurance, no clue. Even if the police manage to catch the burglars, chance to get any compensation on this case is too slim!
