*There was an attempt last night to break into my house as we*ll,
hearing the sounds of tiles breaking, I got up at about 11.45 pm and the
dogs started barking.
A few minutes later the culprt actually had the audacity to climb the
wall of my side neighbours "hotel" house and look thru the bathroom
window at a girl guest who was relieving herself at that time. She let
out a blood curling scream causing the culpret to run away. and damaged
the window glass in the process. I did not ses who it was as by the time
i had reached outside noone was in sight. A quick search of the
surrounding area with a torch revealed nothing except a strong smell of
smoke indicating the person had smoked and had stood there for a while.
we have got to do something about this danger!!!!

Just yesterday, I got a chance to talk to Saligaonetter Yvonne
Vaz-Ezdani of Salmona, and, on asking, she narrated her recent trauma
when she was a victim of a house-breaking and theft case earlier this
month.
It happened in broad daylight. The culprit, noting that the house was
empty, used a crow-bar to break into the main front door lock, and
then had quite boldly entered inside the house!
Fortunately, the culprit got apprehended, after being trapped in the
house. (Apparently, a retired policeman Patil was passing by, noticed,
and had the presence of mind to bolt the front-door, thus locking the
culprit within the house.)
Alert neighbours (including a maid) raised the alarm. The incident
happened between 11 am and noon, when Yvonne had just stepped out to
go to Mapusa. The call that came through to her in Mapusa stunned
Yvonne, as one would not even expect a house-breaking case at that
time of the day! She rushed home, to find that the neighbours and
police had surrounded the house, and caught the culprit, who had
barricaded himself indoors, after having to break through a tiny part
of the roofing to gain entry themselves.
If I understood anything wrong, Yvonne can correct me.
It was later found out that the culprit was involved in other
out-of-State crime too, and was living at rented premises in Arradi,
Candolim. Apparently the cuplrit (and possibly a woman associate) had
been keeping watch on the house for a day or two. Only goes to show
that we can't take our safety for granted. But of course, these things
strike when we're least expecting.
Strangely enough, another house in the close vicinity had been burgled
just a few days earlier. If I understood right, the police had been
slow on coping with the case, and even wanted to know whether Yvonne
herself wanted to follow it up in the courts. When the law is broken
in a criminal case, where is the choice before the State on whether to
prosecute or not? It is mandatory that such issues be followed up to
their logical end.
This is a trend which needs concern and attention. A house-breaking
case by daytime in a busy residential locality points to extra
boldness on the part of the culprits. Are our authorities tuned in to
the situation? FN
PS: Some tips from the Patna Police, but not all is easy to implement:
