Thievery again

Another case of thievery, but an extremely serious one, at least, to me. This friend of mine M lost his laptop, his bag and all his belongings (TI calc, HRW textbook, important notes, files etc.) were also taken away by the heartless thief. Same goes to his two friends too – they lost their laptops at the same time. I was told that it must be the work of Swinburne students. Why so?

They drove to King Centre yesterday afternoon for lunch, during the time they had lunch, the car was broken in and the ones who took the laptops were completely sure where M and his friends kept their laptops at. It took only a short while for them to take everything away from them. It was as if they were already targeted on the moment they left the campus. How could anyone besides the students know of the laptops anyway?

It seems that M came to Swinburne and had lost a number of valuables. I do pity him sometimes. From his outer appearance, he smiled as if nothing had happened, but deep inside, I could sense the sadness and sorrow inside him. How could he have such a cruel fate?

Anyway, the moral of the lesson is: keep your valuables with you, big or small, priceless or not, wherever you go, whenever you go. The devil always lurks behind you, waiting for an opening when you are not aware of it.

This summer semester is… unsettling.

you know it may not be swinburne students.

But, it is VERY true that your friends may be tracked down from the point you guyz leave the college. =)

It is obvious that many college students carries a laptop. And of course, you guyz get targeted first!!!!!

LOL... my mum's laptop got stolen about half a month after it was bought. She was careless ever for the first time!
