Warning !!! Robber at Upper Thomson

[Watwheels]

I cannot believe still got ppl like your friend who like to leave laptop in the car after so many donkey reported cases of break-ins to steal laptops.

 

If ppl continue to think bullsh*t like these won't happen to them in broad daylight on a busy street, all the more we'll hear or see about them.

 

I think SPF put up banners to warn drivers not to leave valuables in their cars unattended is a big failure cos obviously some ppl dun give a damn. But when break-ins happen they comprain police do nothing much to help. WTF!

[Testa_ross4]

I beg to differ, the security of SG is super tight, take the recent case of the undergrad who sell porn DVD online, our wonderful SPF can catch him even while mailing the item. Wah lao, you know how much police intelligence network and resources spent to find and stake out the guy just to nab him? I feel soooooooo safe that there are no porn DVD sellers in my neighbourhood, SG is very safe only for an escaped terrorist, loan sharks, break in theft and brazen daylight robbers, prostitutes.....all small issues lah.

It is unfortunate that the security in our country has slackened quite notably recently:

 

1. Escape of Mas Selemat, and without the re-capture after a few months.

2. Widespread of Loan shark harassments and vandalisms within busy HDB neighborhoods.

3. Break-ins and thefts in such broad daylight.

4. Prostitutions in shopping centers and HDB heartland. I am disgusted to see my area polluted by such activities in the form of foot reflexology and massage parlours.

 

do u feel safe walking in singapore streets in the middle of the night. if u do, that's it, no need for me to mentioned whether singapore security level good or not.

I was at this open carpark opposite Shaw Tower along Beach rd last Friday afternoon around 1pm.A Toyota SUV window was smashed.Saw 2 police officers taking photo.One of them told me " look at these cars...most of them have cashcard or valuable stuff in their car! When will they learn ?"

[David]

Did I read it that this story you post here is from your friend, you were not there physically after it happened?

 

Getting a parking lot there during lunchtime is like striking the lottery. Most of the time I find myself having to park along the small road and the road where the private housing are. So where did your colleague parked the car?

 

I think we have to write off that these days we expect them(the thieves) would smash with a *bang" on the windscreen/glass thereby attracting attention. And also they maybe working in groups too. So we have to be very warry of our priced possesion. Yeah! sometimes its just our 4getfulness. Just the other day, when I returned to my car, to my horror! I did not locked the car and I 4gotten I have a notebook on the backseat. Luckily nothing happened.

 

Then again, even if the acts were to be seen, there would be a remote chance that the general public would intervene. Mind you, we are talking about something serious as a theft with dangerous weapon. It should not surprise you cos for something not dangerous but still the same, some people have a indifferent attitude - I am talking about people who would be affected or feel affected by traffic/parking violation. You ask them to report, they say why must I?

Wah lau, serious boh???

 

Why the place so busy yet nobody shouted at the guy or call the police??

 

But then your friend is too careless liao, COMPLACENCY is the word to use here...

 

low crime doesn't mean NO crime...

[Kklim]

Where was yr friend's car? If it was near the bank, the CCTV might have captured the incident.

Low crime doesnt mean No crime

[Padre]

He said he parked along the stretch, where u parallel park.

 

i do not know exactly where.

 

My other colleag who parked in front of him, did not kenna.

 

My colleague did not expose all hsi stuff.

 

His laptop and other stuff were in his laptop bag and on his seats.

my gf's place behind nia.. now i gotta be real careful with my ride and her.....

[Mustank]

theft from motor vehicle

[Will_I_Am]

What model is the laptop? We could see it posted on HWZ very soon

 

 

nothing confidential, unless the robber is from our business competitor,

 

and he's not edison either

 

 

 

PS...i posted in HWZ also

[Acemundo]

1st of all, i hope his laptop doesn't contain confidential materials especially relating to govt projects. Otherwise, super hot soup.

 

This piece of info especially abt that area being robber-prone deserved a TOP spot in STOMP.

 

Though he can't help himself but he sure can do a good deed to warn those patronising that area. Who knows it might put pressure on our Home Affairs to plan their resources carefully instead of sending all the MIB to catch Mas.

 

Lastly, though it might seems late. It wld be good to let other Spore forums know to??

 

 

buy a laptop with fingerprint sensors manufactured by my company....keke

 

your data is safe. robbers or thieves will find it useless taking away ur laptop.

[David]

I was thinking if I want to see what is inside the hdd, can I dismantle it(hdd) and read it as a slave? Then again can I have a new hdd installed in the stolen notebook and install the OS.

[Acemundo]

depends on the configuration. understand from my colleague from technical dept it can be configured to secured at different level, the most basic of which would render the entire lappy useless if stolen.
