Reality Check

After about 18 months living overseas/away from home I am sure everyone has gotten comfortable with their place and living conditions. Well I just got a reminder that we are still in a foreign place and we should still be vigilant. To those wondering what this reminder is, I shall enlighten you now. My house which I share with 3 others was broken into last wednesday. It happened in between 11a.m. and 1p.m.. Thats right, it happened in a 2 hour time-span. Fortunately nobody was at home and unfortunately we lost 3 laptops and a DSLR. The funny thing is cash was not taken and so was many other stuff. Well standard procedure followed, called the police(gardai in Ireland). Gardai came and saw promptly but nothing seems to be able to done since laptop thefts are common. So all in all, this is a reminder to all Pm3ians you are students and are targets. So don't be predictable, ie. don't park your bike where people can see whether your home or not. This is to keep people guessing whether your home or not.
